About Atting House
Atting House is the brainchild of Jai Waney, a prominent Hong Kong-based art collector and businessman, and Chinese contemporary art expert Johnson Chang, founder of the highly regarded Hanart TZ Gallery.
Established in 2007 and headquartered in Hong Kong, Atting House is an art company committed to featuring contemporary works of art from established masters and emerging artists. Atting House offers a unique blend of internet-based auctions and selling exhibitions, both curated by specialists.
Atting House offers a unique service to collectors: it provides an online environment to participate in auctions or purchase exhibited artworks.Lasting up to four weeks, exhibitions are hosted at its Hong Kong art space or in specially selected locations around the globe. Collectors are offered options to purchase artworks on and offline.
Online auctions are conducted over two days and are preceded by exhibitions online and in the real world. Independent curators select the artists and their artworks for the exhibitions and auctions, ensuring the significance of each and every piece.
“The fact that the exhibitions are curated also means that an expert has already pre-selected quality works, which takes out much of the random element that can be a consideration when buying art,” Jai Waney says.
“The marketplace for contemporary art is often slow to recognize critical trends, so by presenting artworks that have been selected by critics, Atting House can help collectors get ahead of the market,” Johnson Chang says.
Detailed auction catalogues and collectors’ art books for each exhibition will be available for purchase.
