Since its first auction in May 2009, 33 Auction has progressed to holding three annually and it was named one of the top auction houses in Asia by Blouin Artinfo in 2013. This year, 33 Auction returns with the 2016 Singapore Spring Sale of Singaporean Art and Modern and Contemporary Asian Art. Besides important works by veteran artists such as Chen Wen Hsi, Ong Kim Seng and Baseoki Abdullah, expect a thought-provoking showcase by Chinese and Japanese modern and contemporary artists.
