Auctions are funny things, and there is no telling what can happen. The most dramatic results can be influenced by something as frivolous as literally one man forgetting to set his alarm clock on time, but I suppose that is why we find them so fascinating. Since the big sales took place earlier this week in Hong Kong (Christie’s and Phillips, the latter with two separate auctions) I’ve been poring over the results to try to find a theme or two on which to report. Instead, I found a handful of occurrences that are, well, kinda silly – as in actually amusing. At least to me. I’m not saying they’re wrong, or anyone involved in making them happen is wrong or misguided, it’s just that conventional wisdom and reason might place a question mark in the margin next to them in the history books. Here are five silly things that happened in Hong Kong this week.
