NEW YORK -- When collectors, dealers and aficionados from around the world gathered in March for the Asia Week New York art event, three words constantly recurred: classical Chinese art.
Midway through nine-days of scrutinizing, acquiring and discussing Asian art offerings from leading New York galleries and auction houses, Christie's staged a series of auctions that included a record-breaking $260 million one-night sale of 30 works of Chinese classical art from the Fujita Museum in Osaka, Japan.
