Top 5 Christie's approved to enter Chinese market

Renowned art business and fine art auction house Christie's entered the Chinese mainland in April. Its debut auction was held on Sep. 26 in Shanghai and demonstrated its long-term strategy for the Chinese mainland: promoting Western art to Chinese buyers and contemporary Chinese art to the world. The auction presented Christie's best-selling categories: Post-war & Contemporary Art and Impressionism & Modern Art, showcasing the works of Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso. Works in the two categories accounted for eight of Christie's top 10 lots in the first half of this year.
