@sothebys: This serene painting by Vu Cao Dam hammered to applause at #SothebysHongKong, where it achieved a new record for the artist in The Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction. Totaling HK $28.9 million, ‘Conversation d'élégantes au jardin’ is now also the highest selling work by a Vietnamese artist ever. Painted in 1939 during Vu Cao Dam’s Paris years, this painting is the defining achievement of the artist’s early career. Monumental in scale, the work represents the culmination of Vu Cao Dam’s celebrated silk works. Here, you can see how he transforms this ancient Asian medium into a vehicle for a distinctly modern vision of Vietnamese identity. The Hong Kong Sales, presented in partnership with @celine, continue 29 September with the modern and contemporary day sales. Register to bid at the link in bio.

What a masterpiece but how amazing that we can spend 23 million on a beautiful silk painting but we have so many homeless people all around the world what’s wrong with society? Not denying it’s a beautiful piece of artwork but seriously.
