We are also preparing other events in June and early July and will keep you posted on these very soon.

CHRISTIE’S AUCTIONS AND LE GRAND GOUT FRANÇAIS (Francis Bacon, Adrian Ghenie and Hubert de Givenchy from Paris to Hong Kong)
Description of the Tour:
From Francis Bacon Retrospective in Paris 1971 to Francis Bacon & Adrian Ghenie Flesh & Soul Hong Kong May 2022.
His legendary retrospective at the Grand Palais, Paris, in October 1971, showing one hundred and eight Bacon works, probably affords him the greatest satisfaction of any of his exhibitions. At this time Francis Bacon was among the rare living artists to have been granted such an honour, another being Pablo Picasso in 1966.
From 21 to 29 May 2022 a joint exhibition of over 15 masterpieces by Francis Bacon and Adrian Ghenie, to be held at the Hong Kong Convention
and Exhibition Centre, as a special highlight during the week of Christie’s Spring Preview and Auctions. This will be an event remarkable
for its many “firsts” –the first Francis Bacon exhibition in Hong Kong, the first Adrian Ghenie exhibition in Asia, and the world’s first
joint exhibition for the two iconic artists. After Hong Kong, the collection will travel to additional locations in Asia.
