Around 10 a.m., Ms. Kao, a vice president of client strategy for Sotheby's, started the bidding at $3 million with a cool lean on the podium.
At $6 million, thank you, Simon Shaw, she says, with no qualms about calling on bidders by name, making them feel seen, and special.
Ms. Kao shifts her weight casually... almost flirting with the bidders. Then she rocks back to show that, maybe, actually, she doesn't care about their bid at all.
