An Auction of New Chinese Art Leaves Disjointed Noses in Its Wake
go to article

This is an extended article on the earlier news, as reported in The Art Newspaper, in which a "collection" of contemporary Chinese art were toured and then sold via auction.

All this took place seemingly without the knowledge of the participating artists, who believed that they were selling their works to a single collector who wished to "donate" his collection to several museums afterwards, and the museums which agreed to act as venues for what can only be termed as an outright and cynical marketing ploy.
