Auction introduction: Night Market is an online auction and exhibition taking place in New York from 22 July to 2 August, in partnership with Civil Art. Supported by Christie’s Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee, Night Market is a philanthropic project aiming to shine a light on the rich culture of the Asian and Pacific Islander creative communities. Marketplaces are historical epicentres for cultural exchange. Night Market continues this cross-pollination of sensibilities and ideas by showcasing the work of artists, scholars and creatives with diverse narratives and perspectives. Night Market brings together the work of over 30 artists, with emerging names including Sung Hwa Kim, Yuri Yuan and Bony Ramirez to be exhibited alongside contemporary pioneers such as Hiroshi Sugimoto and Zhang Huan.

Night Market is made possible by the generous support from our leading sponsor, East West Bank, and our sponsors Le Mieux, Do Clay, YS Kim Foundation, Panda Express, and Kickstarter.
