From contemporary superstar in Japan to internet sensation Labubu, creating an artistic bridge between East and West.
The standout feature of this auction is undoubtedly the gathering of works from several highly acclaimed contemporary Japanese artists.
A pair of works by Nara Yoshitomo is starting at HKD 11,000, with his iconic lonely girl image offering not just collectible value but also infusing home spaces with a unique vibe of rebellion and innocence.
And Murakami Takashi’s Smiling Flowers has long become a popular symbol in contemporary art. This time, Floral vibes for the family, roaring with excitement! starts at a bidding price of HKD 8,000, with its vibrant floral design bringing a healing power to collectors.
In addition to the Japanese art masters, Labubu, which has gone viral on social media in recent years, is also one of the highlights of this auction. The collection created by Long Jia Sheng, featuring Signature Art Toys, includes both the original color version and a glow-in-the-dark limited edition, starting at 15,000 HKD. Not only does it feature three-dimensional figurines, but it also includes graffiti versions that truly showcase Labubu Naughty and cute. For collectors who already have various versions of Labubu, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to expand their collection.
For enthusiasts of traditional Chinese art, this auction is equally dazzling — featuring works from Lin Fengmian’s Dahlia, Liang Qichao’s Qingqi Yingguang Kaishu Eight Character Couplet, to Zhang Daqian’s Color Splash Landscape, each piece is infused with profound cultural significance and artistic value. These calligraphy and painting works not only serve as carriers of traditional culture, but they also add a touch of scholarly elegance to modern homes.
It’s worth mentioning that this auction continues the core philosophy of New Art Easter Aesthetic appeal for both the cultured and the common., featuring a range of high-end artworks to entry-level collectibles with price points spanning from several hundred to several tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, allowing collectors with different budgets to find pieces they desire.
