From March 19 to 27, 2026, New York’s Asian Art Week will be the climax of various auction houses showcasing Chinese antique art. As the Hong Kong Basel Art Fair makes a grand push for the discourse power of Western contemporary art, a defense of Chinese antique art and China’s cultural soft power quietly unfolds in New York.

In the eyes of collectors, leading auction houses like Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Bonhams have different emphases on their market positions and influences in Hong Kong, New York, and London. Among them, New York has long been a barometer led by Tina Zonars, head of Christie’s Asian Art Department, with Sotheby’s and Bonhams closely following. Since Blue Lotus exited the dealership and gallery business in 2021, New York’s Asian Art Week has almost become an exclusive stage for auction houses to showcase their strengths, and the competitive landscape has become clearer.
