“Auctioning an empty thing is a romantic idea for me. Because what the buyer gets is not a real thing.” — Xu Zhen
If you are in Hong Kong, don’t miss the rare opportunity to see Xu Zhen’s wonderful XUZHEN SUPERMARKET, on view at Sotheby’s Hong Kong only until September 30, when it then goes on sale. If you can’t make it to Hong Kong, enjoy this video of Xu Zhen describing the work and what it means to him to sell a concept, and a delightful opening scene with someone who was not so crazy about the idea.
