Sotheby's, one of the world's top brokers of fine art and luxury items, will attend again the China International Import Expo this year to give visitors a brand new cultural experience and promote global exchanges.

Its exhibition space, which will be five times larger than the one from last year, will feature a wider range of collectibles and artworks created by masters from different times, including Mark Rothko, Pierre Bonnard, Edvard Munch, Daniel Richter, Matthew Wong, Antony Gormley, and Ayako Rokkaku. Some of the exhibits will be making their debuts in China.

Sotheby's online sales platform, Buy Now, will also be part of the exhibition and 15 premium handbags available on the platform will be displayed.

Sotheby's involvement in the CIIE demonstrates the company's commitment to its long-term development in China, said Jean Qian, managing director of Sotheby's China.

Qian also noted that China's culture collection sector is growing and full of promise. Sotheby's has been operating in the Chinese mainland for about 30 years and experienced the boom of China's collection industry. To provide the Chinese market with better products and services, the company will announce the establishment of its Chinese mainland headquarters in Shanghai during the fifth CIIE.
