When Chinese investment banker Huang Xiaoshuai opens the door of his Shanghai home the first thing he sees on the wall is a large painting of fish by Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody.

Huang Xiaoshuai and his wife last year splashed out US$70,000 (RM301,000) for a large painting of fish by Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody – part of a growing clique of young, affluent Chinese art enthusiasts building their own high-end collections.
The picture now hangs in their Shanghai home in China, and the couple, along with other mainland collectors, are attending VIP events at the Art Basel in Hong Kong where they are hoping to indulge their taste for contemporary Asian and European art.
