“The world is turning east,” says Phillips’ chief executive Stephen Brooks. “We have a great belief in Asia long-term and we want to be part of that and are already part of that.” The auction house, which focuses on 20th- and 21st-century art and design, watches and jewellery, has just signed a deal to create a massive saleroom and offices in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District Tower, just across from the Herzog & de Meuron-designed M+ museum, which opened in November.
富藝斯(Phillips)拍賣行執行長斯蒂芬•布魯克斯(Stephen Brooks)表示:「世界正在轉向東方。我們對亞洲的長期發展充滿信心,我們希望成爲其中的一部分,而且我們已經成爲其中的一部分。」這家專注於20世紀和21世紀藝術與設計、鐘錶和珠寶的拍賣行,剛剛簽署一項協議,將在香港西九文化區管理局大樓(WKCDA Tower)修造一個大型拍賣場和若干辦公室,就在赫佐格和德梅隆(Herzog & de Meuron)建築事務所設計的11月剛剛開幕的M+博物館對面。
