Contemporary Chinese art auction market up 32% in the last 6 months

Recent auctions from Hong Kong and Mainland China this spring brought in $1.6 billion across all categories, an increase from last season’s $1.2 billion.  The four main auction houses in that region (Christie’s, Sotheby’s, Poly and Guardian) raised $2.74 billion in auction sales in 2012, this was a 43% drop from the previous year.  The great fall may be attributed to a few high profile scandals, political uncertainty, clampdown on tax evasion and speculative investments.  In spite of this, the previous Chinese contemporary art auctions by the big four auction houses raise $76 million (excluding buyer’s premium), an increase of 32% from last autumn.
