COLORS OF MODERN CHINA
COLORS OF MODERN CHINA held an evening reception and live auction in Shanghai on November 7th. The proceeds of the auction were to be given to Shanghai Sunrise, a charity supporting under-privileged Shanghainese kids in need.
Asian Tigers China - Shanghai Branch sponsored the event by assisting with installing and dismantling the exhibition.
Almost 100 contemporary photography and art lovers came to the stylish foyer of the Cross Tower, provided by World Union Investment Management (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., to enjoy Astrid’s contemporary photography which was beautifully arranged and curated by Katherine Hou, founder and owner of Gallery ABIB.
Over wine courtesy of French restaurant Cuivre and canapes from the M1NT Club, guests were introduced to Astrid’s unique photographic interpretation of old and new in China. An exciting and competitive live auction, performed by auctioneer Lucy Wu from Shanghai Ling Ding Auctions and assisted by Frances O’Rouke, Chair of Shanghai Sunrise board of Directors, achieved hammer prices of almost 100% over the auction starting prices.
When COLORS OF MODERN CHINA’s doors closed in the evening of November 23rd, more than RMB148k had been raised for Shanghai Sunrise.
