HONG KONG.- Bonhams, the international auction house, announces today two senior appointments for its Modern and Contemporary Art team in Asia. Marcello Kwan joins Bonhams as Head of Modern and Contemporary Art, Asia. Cindy Lim joins as Senior Specialist and Head of Sale. Both will be based in Hong Kong.

In his new role, Marcello will lead all Bonhams Modern and Contemporary Art business in Asia, furthering Bonhams’ relationships with clients, and expanding the business in this competitive area of the art market. He will lead a regional team of specialists, as well as working with the wider global team on all sales and projects.

Marcello Kwan brings to Bonhams over 20 years of experience in the auction and gallery sectors. He was most recently Vice President, Senior Specialist and Head of Sale of Modern and Contemporary Art at Christie’s Hong Kong, where he was instrumental in securing some of the most prominent star lots for the evening sales, as well as in curating iconic selling exhibitions, such as COLLECT THEM ALL! which showcased the new paintings and sculptures by Michael Lau, the ‘Godfather of Toy Figures’. Prior to Christie’s, Marcello led Hanart TZ Gallery in Hong Kong. He speaks fluent English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

Bonhams Global Head of Post-War & Contemporary Art Ralph Taylor said: “I am thrilled that Marcello and Cindy are joining our global team of Modern and Contemporary art specialists. Marcello has a stellar reputation in the Asian market with long-established relationships with clients in the region. His appointment – together with Cindy’s – is undoubtedly a major step on Bonhams’ exciting development in Asia.”

Marcello Kwan, Bonhams Head of Modern and Contemporary Art, Asia, commented: “I am delighted to be joining Bonhams and using my knowledge and expertise to strengthen Bonhams Modern and Contemporary sales globally. I look forward to deepening our sales offering and building an exciting curatorial programme for our gallery in Hong Kong.”
