Contemporary Ink Art: Confluence

Sotheby's
5/F One Pacific Place,
88 Queensway, Hong Kong
Oct 02, 2017


Detail: Contemporary Ink Art: Confluence is a thematic sale of contemporary art that visualises the dynamic range of works by artists trained in, or influenced by, the ink painting tradition. Inspired by the fabled Silk Road—which carried not only textiles and spices, but also the creative traditions of Eurasia’s many cultures— the sale brings together works from China and its neighbours in the East, alongside European, South Asian, and Middle Eastern pieces, all building on the rich medium of ink. Presented for the first time in Hong Kong, the sale features paintings by notable modern masters such as Hans Hartung, Charles-Hossein Zenderoudi, Krishen Khanna and Isamu Noguchi, whose works are distinguished for their use of ink, brush, and/or calligraphic principle. Historically relevant, exciting and fresh to market works by other leading contemporary artists include Inoue Yuichi, Tseng Yuho, Li Huayi, Liu Dan, Gu Wenda, Li Jin, and Xu Lei.
