Cheng Sheng-tien, an exhibition organizer, points out that sales of Asian contemporary art have increased markedly in recent times. In 2004, Sotheby's and Christie's sold works of this genre totaling US $ 22 million, but in 2006 sales from the three centers of New York, London and Hong Kong alone surged to US $ 190 million, representing a nearly tenfold expansion of this market.
藝術策展人鄭勝天指出，2004 年蘇富比和佳士得公司拍賣亞洲當代藝術的總金額約為 2,200 萬美元；到了 2006 年，僅在紐約、倫敦、香港三地，兩家拍賣公司的亞洲當代藝術成交金額已狂飆到 1 億 9 千萬美元，成長了將近 10 倍。
