The oil on canvas "Property of a Lady of Title" was the top-selling item at Sloane Street Auctions on May 2 and marked the first Vietnamese artwork ever auctioned at the house.

The oil on canvas "Property of a Lady of Title" will be the first Vietnamese artwork on auction at this distinguished auction house. It was on display at a solo exhibition of Vu Cao Dam in London in 1960, hosted by the prominent Frost & Reed Gallery.

The event features 150 works by Le Pho (1907–2001), Mai Trung Thu (1906–1980), and Vu Cao Dam (1908–2000) sourced from 25 different collections.

The recent organisation of a non-selling painting exhibition in Vietnam by Sotheby’s - the world’s largest, most trusted and dynamic marketplace for art and luxury – has demonstrated prospects of this art market.
