A family passionate about Asian contemporary art engaged us in late 2023 to build a world-class collection focused on emerging artists from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo. Over 18 months, we orchestrated the acquisition of 52 significant works valued at $145 million, including pieces by established and rising talents in the region.
Armora Group’s team identified a remarkable 2019 installation by a Hong Kong multimedia artist through our network of gallery relationships across Asia. Through four months of careful negotiations conducted via trusted intermediaries, we secured the work for $12.8 million, well below its projected auction value of $18 million. We coordinated technical authentication through leading Asian art experts, materials analysis at specialized laboratories, and comprehensive provenance documentation including studio visit recordings.
When the family’s Singapore residence underwent renovations in mid-2024, we managed a complex relocation of temperature-sensitive video installations and large-scale sculptures. Our conservation team coordinated with climate control specialists to maintain optimal conditions during the six-month relocation, documenting every piece with 3D scanning technology and managing specialized storage in purpose-built facilities.
To maximize the collection’s cultural impact, we structured an innovative charitable partnership with three major Asian museums, creating a rotating exhibition program that provides the family with $1.2 million in annual tax benefits while ensuring broad public access. We also implemented cutting-edge digital cataloguing using NFT authentication and virtual reality documentation, creating an immersive archive that preserves each work’s artistic intent and historical significance. This forward-thinking approach transformed the family’s collecting into a meaningful cultural bridge between East and West.
