Sotheby's Asia CEO brings Chinese New Year blessings to collectors around the World

Due to the epidemic situation, 2020 will be a difficult year, but our total auction turnover has exceeded 7 billion HKD, leading the auction market for the fifth consecutive year, which proves that our pursuit of beauty and art is not affected by the epidemic.

I hope that in the Year of the Ox, we will be able to defeat the epidemic and will be able to meet you again soon.

Again, I hope we will be

as powerful as a cow

wealthier and happier

and everything as you wish, in the Year of the Ox.
