The evening marked the first anniversary of Christie's Asia headquarters in Central's Henderson building. Picasso's 1944 Buste de Femme hammered for HK$196.75m (US$25.4m), setting an Asia record after a protracted duel between two bidders. Yayoi Kusama's Pumpkin [TWAQN] sold for HK$34.66m (US$4.475m) and Zao Wou-ki's work sold for HK$85.2m (US$11m). Walter Spies's Pagodenlandschaft sold for HK$26.1m (US$3.3m). Christie’s highlighted the role of presentation, fresh property, and remote bidders from Asia, the US and Europe, and positioned the sale as connecting Asian and Western art chapters including Korean and Japanese art.
