Poly Auction Hong Kong concluded its Spring 2026 auction series with total sales exceeding HKD 255 million, representing a 23% increase over the previous autumn season. The sales were led by Liu Wei’s 1995 masterpiece "You Like Pork?", which fetched HKD 27.6 million, and a Ming Dynasty Blue and White 'Grapes' Dish that realized HKD 24.6 million. The auction saw participation from collectors across 17 countries, with significant growth in the Modern and Contemporary Art segment, which rose over 63% compared to the prior season.
These results signal a robust recovery and deepening liquidity in the Hong Kong art market, particularly for high-caliber Chinese contemporary and imperial works. The strong performance of rare, museum-quality pieces by artists like Zao Wou-Ki and Wu Dayu, alongside the high percentage of lots selling above their estimates, suggests that collector confidence remains high despite broader economic fluctuations. The success of the Tsui Museum of Art collection further underscores the continued demand for works with prestigious institutional provenance.
