INVESTING IN ART
Fine art collecting has a long history. Once considered a recreational activity only for the elite and wealthy, collecting art has become a global phenomenon.

The unanimous global headlines speak for themselves: Asian art is a highly profitable alternative asset that is growing by the day, with auction records constantly being broken with multi-million dollar sales.

    ART FUTURES GROUP SHOWCASES FIRST EXHIBITION AT ARTONE

    Artist brothers Yin Jun and Yin Kun feature in Joint Exhibition
     
    Hong Kong,   2 November 2012: Art Futures Group, the world’s leading brokerage firm specialising in contemporary Asian art, recently extended its local presence by opening an independent art gallery space at ArtOne, Wanchai.
     
    From the 5th – 14th November, the art investment firm is conducting its first art exhibition in ArtOne, featuring artist brothers Yin Jun and Yin Kun. The artists, although brothers, have a very diverse style of painting and their artwork display distinct differences. “Everyone experiences life differently, so our interpretations are bound to be different”, Yin Jun explained of their distinct styles.
     
    The elder brother Yin Kun, is famous for his Chinese Fairytales – Heroes series. His paintings feature drooling babies in military uniforms, often holding spears, guns or other interesting subjects. Yin Jun, on the other hand, also features babies in his paintings but they are all in tears. He paints them with round heads, big mouths, and big teardrops that are very expressive and exaggerated.
     
    A total of 10 paintings by Yin Kun and 12 paintings by Yin Jun will be exhibited by Art Futures Group at the upcoming exhibition. Yin Jun will be attending the exhibition and will be meeting and greeting attendees at an exclusive, by-invitation only cocktail reception on 8 November 2012.
