Biografia
Zao Wou-Ki was born in Beijing in 1920, trained at the Hangzhou academy and moved to Paris in 1948, where he joined the circle of postwar abstraction and later took French citizenship. He fused the space and calligraphic energy of Chinese landscape painting with the gestural language of Western lyrical abstraction, producing large oils titled only by their completion dates. For the market he is the anchor of the Hong Kong modern evening sales: his triptych Juin-Octobre 1985 made about US$65 million at Sotheby's in 2018, still the highest price for any painting sold in Hong Kong at that time, and his works appear in almost every major Asian sale season, with deep demand from Greater China collectors.
