Nothing says “successful opening” like a queue around the block. Such was the case for Sweet Nothing, an exhibition of new work by Yorkshire-born artist Charming Baker at Sotheby’s London’s S|2 gallery. Guests were eager to find out what recent paths the restlessly imaginative Baker had taken, and they were not disappointed.
Sotheby’s Hong Kong hosted an exclusive reception to celebrate the opening of Zheng Chongbin: Structure, a selling exhibition showcasing more than 30 of his works. For the past two decades, the artist has enjoyed increased recognition for his stunning synthesis of traditional Chinese ink and Western abstract painting.
As befits stars of this wattage, highlights from the Magnificent Jewels auction hopped from coast to coast, making stops at Sotheby’s new custom-designed Los Angeles location in Century City and at Sotheby’s New York. Both East and West, glamorous crowds thronged to the exclusive preview receptions.
