“The world is turning east,” says Phillips’ chief executive Stephen Brooks. “We have a great belief in Asia long-term and we want to be part of that and are already part of that.” The auction house, which focuses on 20th- and 21st-century art and design, watches and jewellery, has just signed a deal to create a massive saleroom and offices in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District Tower, just across from the Herzog & de Meuron-designed M+ museum, which opened in November.
富藝斯(Phillips)拍賣行首席執(zhí)行官斯蒂芬?布魯克斯(Stephen Brooks)表示：“世界正在轉(zhuǎn)向東方。我們對亞洲的長期發(fā)展充滿信心，我們希望成為其中的一部分，而且我們已經(jīng)成為其中的一部分。”這家專注于20世紀(jì)和21世紀(jì)藝術(shù)與設(shè)計、鐘表和珠寶的拍賣行，剛剛簽署一項協(xié)議，將在香港西九文化區(qū)管理局大樓(WKCDA Tower)修造一個大型拍賣場和若干辦公室，就在赫爾佐格和德梅隆(Herzog & de Meuron)建筑事務(wù)所設(shè)計的11月剛剛開幕的M+博物館對面。
