Van Gogh painting owned by princess may fetch US$50 million at Hong Kong auction, setting record


A Vincent van Gogh painting owned by a European princess will set a record for the most expensive painting sold in Asia if the work fetches its US$50 million estimate at an auction in Hong Kong on Thursday.

The high-profile sale coincides with the opening of auction house Christie’s new Asia-Pacific headquarters at The Henderson in Central, with an art adviser saying the sale could help the city regain attention in the global art market.
