Patrons of Asia Art Archive reveal what they have their eye on at the charity's upcoming fundraising auction
Always a highlight of Hong Kong's art calendar, this year's Asia Art Archive fundraising auction features more than 70 works donated by artists, galleries and patrons from near and far. This year's line-up features a particularly strong selection of female artists, which mirrors the ongoing research done by the organisation into the often overlooked careers of women artists around the region.
"A comprehensive history should not leave out any voices," says Dee Poon, who leads AAA's Women In Art History initiative. "Our initiative is but one additional entry point into creating and preserving these conversations. Asia Art Archive is the most generous art endeavour that I know of. By bringing together the stories around the creation of art, we ensure the protection of the intentions and ideas surrounding the object that is the focal point."
With this in mind, fellow Women In Art History initiative patrons Edward Tang, Jonathan Cheung and Luke Fehon have chosen their favourite works by women artists in this year's auction—and team Tatler have highlighted some lots, too. See our picks below.
