A group of auctioneers from the UK will accept bids on more than 300 artworks in Xiamen, South China's Fuijan province, on April 21.
Initiated by the recently formed Association of Accredited Auctioneers, which comprises 21 independent organizations from around Britain, the auction will be held in collaboration with Beijing-based Huachen Auctions.
About 350 pieces, including furniture, silver, stamps, and prints will be presented. Highlight items include a print of Mickey Mouse from the Myths portfolio by Andy Warhol, and paintings by Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Sales are expected to range from 10,000 yuan ($1,611) to 2 million yuan.
The auction will be broadcast on epaiLive, Asia's only online live bidding portal.
