Confidence Boost • Art auctions are hitting their stride just over two years into the pandemic. While a Shanghai sale confirmed the Chinese market’s appetite for international contemporary artists and Asian masters, in New York, auction debuts secured impressive figures, and Hong Kong continues to bring out big-ticket items.

Tokens of the Future • As many countries in the Asia-Pacific have not yet reopened their borders to nonresidents, hybrid models combining physical events and virtual viewing platforms remained the new normal at fairs across the region in early 2022. With limited travel opportunities, collectors’ attention to local artists has been sustained while non-fungible tokens (NFTs) continue to be the new darling.
