“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.
富艺斯(Phillips)拍卖行首席执行官斯蒂芬•布鲁克斯(Stephen Brooks)表示:“世界正在转向东方。我们对亚洲的长期发展充满信心,我们希望成为其中的一部分,而且我们已经成为其中的一部分。”这家专注于20世纪和21世纪艺术与设计、钟表和珠宝的拍卖行,刚刚签署一项协议,将在香港西九文化区管理局大楼(WKCDA Tower)修造一个大型拍卖场和若干办公室,就在赫尔佐格和德梅隆(Herzog & de Meuron)建筑事务所设计的11月刚刚开幕的M+博物馆对面。
