The exhibition titled Timeless Souls: Beyond the Voyage will take place from next Monday to Wednesday, at the Park Hyatt Saigon Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City. It aims to create a platform to promote Vietnamese art through the lens of some of the most talented artists in the world. Not only does this mark the first exhibition in Vietnam held by an international auction house, the event also manifests as one of the largest Indochina Art exhibitions ever staged in the country.
Vietnamese art is attracting special attention from the global art world. Sotheby's currently holds all three records for the highest prices for Vietnamese paintings. After Ho Chi Minh City, the exhibition will move to other cities in Vietnam.
Sotheby's, a British-founded American multinational corporation, is one of the world's largest brokers of fine and decorative art, jewelry, and collectibles. It has 80 locations in 40 countries.
