"With a passionate and committed group of attendees - collectors, friends and the curious - filling up the auction room nicely, we got off to to an electrifying start with numerous bidders gunning for young illustrator eeshaun's After Yue Minjun's Execution. Finally coming down to a two-horse race, the work eventually sold at E$20,000 (S$200), twenty times its mid-estimate. It set the tone for a successful auction where 90% of the works were sold, many for multiples of their estimates to buyers brisk and brave with their paddles. So the artists behind the works, all first-timers at auction, saw encouraging personal best being set. Buyers were discerning about quality, and merrily trying to outbid each other. That ensued a busy and boisterous afternoon where total proceeds happily soared above our expectations. True to the spirit of an irreverent auction, almost everyone went back with a work (or more) and the rare few who didn't enjoyed spending their Evil Dollars on booze. If you missed it, too bad for you. Just don't forget to join us at the next auction!"
