Going ONCE, Going TWICE, SOLD!

My friend and professional art auctioneer, Perry Tung was my special guest on my podcast.  We chatted about his experiences, day to day job of auctioning off beautiful art and interesting stories about the artists.  Working for a company called Bonhams Auction, they just don't auction off only artwork, but cars, wine, whiskey, watches, furniture and more.  Did you read that?  The three W's. Wine, Whiskey Watches. That market is HUGE in Hong Kong.  

Going back to Artwork, and Perry took us on a path to learn about the 101's of art, what to look for, their values.  The artists themselves have also shown other sides to them, and in my podcast, you will hear about an artist who used a piece of fruit to mock the art industry which brought home hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Pure craziness with a bit of brilliancy. 

Listen or watch the entire podcast to understand the in's and out's of art and the auction business.  It was really interesting how popular this business and that side of the industry is growing!
