Picasso and Van Gogh breaks Asia record, despite unsatisfactory results at Sotheby's evening sale | Auctions News | THE VALUE : vimarsana.com

A powerful tropical cyclone swept over southern China, but it did not deter an international auction house to continue with its sale on 9 October. Sotheby's Hong Kong Modern Art Evening Sale performed much lower than expected, with a total hammer price of HK$485 million (around US$61.7 million) dollars – less than the HK$648 million (US$83.2 million) dollar total estimated price.
