Galleries at the high end of the art market in Asia find themselves twisting and turning in the wind. Leng Lin, Pace Gallery’s longtime Chinese rainmaker, who helped set up the New York heavyweight’s operations in Asia, has returned from Hong Kong to the Chinese capital to focus on his first true love, Beijing Commune, the gallery which he founded in 2004. Stepping into his big shoes is Evelyn Lin, Christie’s former deputy chairman of 20th century Asian and contemporary art. Word has it international blue-chip galleries will now be exclusively recruiting talents from one of the two leading auction houses.
