THE global search for collectors of rare precious objects marks one way in which the auction world has adapted very quickly to changed circumstances.

In 2021 there is nothing particularly unusual about the fact that the Dublin firm of James Adam has already held a Paris preview for a sale of Fine Asian Art due to take place in Dublin on June 29 and 30. The Paris view is not entirely unconnected to the fact that Adam’s has created its own Asian department and appointed Thibault Duval as its Dublin-based head.
