Entering the 2026 Hong Kong Autumn Auction Season, the five major local auction houses are simultaneously focusing on the modern and contemporary art sector, creating a grand auction feast with a high concentration of high-quality works. As the core hub of modern and contemporary art auctions in Asia, Hong Kong, relying on its mature trading system and global collector resources, not only brings together popular market items this autumn, but also showcases a number of rare works that are rarely circulated and have potential for increased collection value. This injects strong vitality into the entire secondary art market and becomes a key window for collectors to position themselves in modern and contemporary art this year.

Among all the artists featured in this autumn auction, the recently deceased Yayoi Kusama is undoubtedly the most central, talked-about, and investment-worthy highlight of the entire event.

1929 - 2026

As a leading female avant-garde artist in global art history, Yayoi Kusama is also recognized as a top blue-chip artist in the art world. Her works have consistently occupied core positions in contemporary art auctions, with high trading frequency, stable premium space, and strong risk resistance in the secondary market.

With the artist's passing, the creation of their original works has come to a complete end, further amplifying the scarcity of their remaining works on the market. This auction by the five major auction houses brought in a total of [amount missing].Thirty-five works by Yayoi Kusama, covering a wide range of categories.It features both museum-quality masterpieces and works in diverse media such as watercolors and prints, catering to different budgets and collecting preferences, and meeting the needs of various collectors, from seasoned veterans to newcomers.
