Sotheby’s, the auction house, has appointed Vinci Chang as head of the 20th Century Chinese Art Department, responsible for organising auctions of such art in Hong Kong.

Chang’s appointment is in replacement of Sylvie Chen, the former Head of 20th Century Chinese Art Department at Sotheby’s, the company told this publication in an email when asked about the matter.

Chang has more than 15 years of experience in the art business. She began her career in the auction industry in 1997, having taken up various important positions in Taipei and Hong Kong including an appointment as head of modern and contemporary Asian art at an international auction house. Prior to her new role, she set up an art consulting company in Hong Kong, providing art restoration and storage services to collectors in the region, and joined Sotheby’s in 2013 as a consultant.
