Christie’s International, which this week holds its first mainland China auction, said Shanghai’s free-trade zone will allow it to import more works of art for sale into the country.
“We are working with the free-trade zone in any way they see fit and we are hopeful that when the free trade zone becomes more open we are there to benefit from that,” Steven Murphy, chief executive officer for the auction house told reporters in Shanghai today.
