The world’s leading art business is holding a private sales exhibition in Asia for the first time, auctioning works of prominent artists.

Christie’s is holding its first major sale of Western art in Hong Kong during a week-long exhibition named “The Loaded Brush”. The collection features about 250 works of art from names as famous as Picasso, ‘Monay’, Warhol and ‘Renuar’ among others.

The exhibition is kept private and has a first-come, first-serve basis. While the prices of the artworks are left undisclosed, the money fetched from the event is estimated to be around 250 million dollars.
