不過能夠如此彪炳的藝術交易成績多虧藝術家趙無極的珍惜罕巨作：《22.6.63》及《24.10.63》兩幅是來自趙無極「狂草」頂峰時期的創作，當時的趙無極擁有熟練的中會繪畫技巧，融合西方美學和現代思維的藝術成為「狂草」時期。這兩幅畫作出自 Kootz Gallery ，從1963年創作到現在只轉手三次而已，在中間的57年來從未曝光過，也沒有在拍賣市場上出現，因此首度登場更顯機會難得。
ZAO WOU-KI 24.10.63 1963 signed ‘Wou-Ki [in Chinese] ZAO.’ lower right; further signed, titled and dated ‘ZAO WOU-KI “24.10.63”’ on the reverse oil on canvas 194 x 97 cm. (76 3/8 x 38 1/4 in.) Painted in 1963, this work is to be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the Fondation Zao Wou-Ki. This work will be referenced in the archive of the Fondation Zao Wou-Ki and will be included in the artist's forthcoming catalogue raisonné prepared by Françoise Marquet and Yann Hendgen. (Information provided by Fondation Zao Wou-Ki). SOLD FOR HK$46,365,000
趙無極獨特的構圖手法在《22.6.63》及《24.10.63》中完美地呈現出，在莊嚴靜謐的氣氛中注入猶如火山爆發般的狂妄不羈，充滿了原始與混沌宇宙之間的鬥爭。《22.6.63》黑色筆觸在深紅色背景下突圍而出，而《24.10.63》則在稀疏鮮明的黑色、褐色線條與中央紅色斑點的一筆形成極大的對比。《22.6.63》成交價為港元$54,310,000 ，《24.10.63》的成交價則是港元$46,365,000，兩幅共用由一位亞洲收藏家投得超過1億港元。
LIU YE Choir of Angels (Red) 1999 signed and dated 'Ye [in Chinese] liu ye 99' lower right oil on canvas 169.1 x 199.2 cm. (66 5/8 x 78 3/8 in.) Painted in 1999. SOLD FOR HK$27,750,000
除此之外，成交第三位是中國當代藝術領軍人物劉野的《天使合唱團(紅)》，是藝術家標誌式「紅色帷幕」的作品之一。
MATTHEW WONG Warmth 2017 signed, titled and dated '"WARMTH" Wong 2017 [in Chinese]' on the reverse oil on canvas 68 x 50 cm. (26 3/4 x 19 5/8 in.) Painted in 2017. SOLD FOR HK$2,625,000
最後值得一提的是，上週創下個人紀錄的加拿大華裔藝術家王俊傑 Matthew Wong，這位香港藝術家擁有極高的藝術天份，自學畫畫的他在2016年初次在紐約藝廊 Karma 辦畫展便引起史無前例地巨大迴響，一致獲得業界高度讚揚。作為一名多產的畫家王俊傑的畫作，極有造詣而不造作，同時以標誌性的野獸派顏色創作出多幅與自然風景的藝術畫作，因此2017年的《溫暖》拍賣以260萬港元成交刷新個人紀錄。可惜的是這位年輕的藝術家去年年底自殺身亡，終年僅有35歲。
