About This Auction

Sotheby’s Modern Day Auction is honored to present a multi‑thematic auction bringing together an exemplary selection of twentieth‑century masters. The catalogue highlights seminal works by Asian artists active in France — including Zao Wou‑Ki, Chu Teh‑Chun, Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita, Lalan and Wu Guanzhong — alongside pivotal figures of the Western canon such as Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Matta and Henri Fantin‑Latour, the latter celebrated for his floral still lifes. The sale is further strengthened by major paintings from leading twentieth‑century Southeast Asian artists, including Le Pho, Mai Thu, Vu Cao Dam and Affandi. Collectively, these works form a richly varied and distinguished offering that enhances Hong Kong’s art festivities in March.
