About Us
Alyes Auctions, based in Hong-Kong, is offering at auctions a dynamic range of collectible artworks and works especially with Asian collectors.
With a clear international focus, we target especially the constantly growing Asian market. Indeed, with our two offices established in Hong-Kong and Shanghai and our partnerships with many local auction broadcasters we help Asian collectors to purchase quality Post War and Contemporary artworks. In addition, we push forward many established artists who already have an international aura, along with more emerging local artists in which we belive.
Our goal is to make access to auctions easier, cheaper and faster for buyers and sellers. Indeed, our average sales fees are lower than most traditional auction houses, we offer a fast delivery service and our online auction system make access and sale of artworks very convenient .
