Christie's spring sales cool off   

佳士得香港拍卖“风光难再”

但相对于佳士得2011春季拍卖40亿的总成交额,本季只剩最后一日的拍卖恐“风光难再”。业界分析,在全球经济不明朗环境下,中国市场趋于理性,不再容易出现过往的火爆场面。

Hong Kong (CNS) -- Sales at famous Christie's auction house sales exceeded two billion Hong Kong dollars from March 1 to May 30, leaving one day to contribute to its official Spring Auction season in Hong Kong. But the sales in 2012 spring are no match for last spring's turnover of four billion Hong Kong dollars.

In the context of a gloomy global economy, the Chinese market behaved with more rationality and caution. The rage of 2011 spring bidding didn't reoccur on the island.

The droop in Christie's turnover shows the Chinese market is adapting itself to the changing external environment, leaving the potential to rebound in the future, said Dou Qin, vice president of China Guardian Auctions Co.
