Watch: Hong Kong crowds queue to see Van Gogh painting unveiled for first time in 60 years
A Van Gogh painting, 'Chestnut Trees in Blossom', is being displayed in Hong Kong for the first time in 60 years. Sotheby's expects the artwork to reach a record-breaking auction price of $180 million.
Why it matters
The sale represents a significant milestone in the global art market and highlights the continued investment value of historical masterpieces.
Van Gogh painted Châtaigniers en fleurs (Chestnut Trees in Blossom) in the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise, about two months before he died in 1890.
Sotheby's estimates the painting will fetch $180m (£136m), which would mark the highest auction price for a Van Gogh artwork.
