"We've seen for a long time in Asia the emergence of new collectors, with new museums opening especially on the Chinese mainland. Collecting has become a more widely adopted hobby and passion for wealthy individuals," Belin said. "But it's not magic. It's not like you put something in Asia and it's going to fly. You'll be amazed at the knowledge and the savvy Asian collectors have on these artists, even the ones that haven't been here before."
