The auctioneer hosting the inaugural sales of a Chinese company, which the London-based Christie’s “has agreed to lend its name to,” had his licence confiscated by the Chinese Association of Auctioneers last week.
Liu Xinhui, one of the veteran auctioneers in the Chinese mainland who hosted the company’s sales of fine modern and contemporary Chinese paintings on November 3, disputed the decision to take away his licence.
