B eginning September, Sotheby’s Hong Kong will offer a series of virtual events in an effort to bring our community closer to art. Many of you have enjoyed the selling exhibitions, lectures, and other cultural events hosted at our Hong Kong gallery. The upcoming technology-enhanced series is an extension of that exclusive experience.
Inaugurating this series, Sotheby’s Asia has partnered with HSBC Private Banking to host Sculpting Asian Spirit featuring the pioneering sculptor Ren Zhe. No stranger to the auction market, Ren Zhe is best known for powerful sculptures that convey a sense of stillness and inner strength, garnering international attention in his solo exhibitions at Taimiao Temple in Beijing Palace Museum in 2019, and at Hong Kong Exchange Square in 2017.
From Beijing, Ren Zhe has shared some of the early experiences and inspirations that have contributed to his artistic development. Felix Kwok of Sotheby’s Modern Asian Art has interviewed the sculptor on his collaborations with celebrities as well as his vision of the future of Asian sculpture.
