Asia Art Archive Fundraiser 2012

Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong

Asia Art Archive (AAA), an independent non-profit documentation, research, and ideas platform for contemporary art, announces today that this year's fundraising auction and dinner will take place on Saturday 24 November, with a preview of works from 20 to 23 November at Sotheby's Hong Kong, giving art collectors access to a range of 73 significant works by internationally recognised artists. AAA's annual auction is a major source of support for its operations, programmes and endowment. In 2011, the auction raised funds towards AAA's new website and Collection Online, enabling global access to AAA's extensive digital collection. This year, AAA continues to raise funds toward its endowment goal of USD 6.5 million which provides ongoing support for its research and programmes, as well as a long-term strategy for its growing extensive collection of physical and digital material documenting the recent history of contemporary art in Asia. The endowment campaign was launched in 2007 and to date the Archive has raised USD 4.3 million towards its goal. AAA is extremely grateful to the wide support from artists and galleries who share AAA's mission of creating a collection belonging to the public, instigating critical thinking and dialogue that generate new ideas. 2012 auction highlights include a seminal limited edition work by leading Chinese artist Song Dong produced during his residency at AAA, a light sculpture from Korean artist Haegue Yang, documentation of 'Cage Piece' from Hsieh Tehching's One Year Performance, an early sketch by American artist George Condo, a painting from established Chinese artist Liu Wei, a photograph from American photographer Taryn Simon's most recent series, a seminal work from Chinese artist Wang Gongxin, a cardboard painting from Lee Kit's recent series, an oil on canvas by Duan Jianyu, a work by Hong Kong artist Wilson Shieh, a reverse painting by Nalini Malani, and a set of two paintings by Chinese abstract artist Ding Yi. The dinner is sold out but all works will be on view at Sotheby's Hong Kong from 20-23 November or online. AAA accepts absentee or phone bids.
