Southern Realignment • Autumn auctions confirm Singapore’s promising place in the Asian art market with Southeast Asian masters breaking records, while Hong Kong’s back-to-back sales lagged behind last year’s results. In New York—and across the season—mid-range pieces outshone leading lots as buyers indulge on rising stars instead of blue chip players.

New Hotspots • As pandemic restrictions gradually eased in the Asia-Pacific region, many cities embraced the full return of physical fairs. In Jakarta and Sydney, sales floors were even livelier than pre-pandemic times, with crowds keen to buy and see artworks in person. Frieze Seoul—perhaps the most anticipated art fair in Asia this year—attracted overseas buyers and launched a new art season in the Korean capital, the latest hotspot in the region.
