ABOUT TAKUNG: www.takungart.com

 

Based in Hong Kong, Takung Art Co., Ltd. originated an online trading platform (eng.takungae.com) for acquiring shared ownership in Asian fine art, jewelry and precious gems. This proprietary platform provides a secure and easy way for collectors and investors – including those with modest financial resources -- to buy and sell units of these assets and participate in the booming Asian art market without fear of price manipulation and forgery. This, in turn, significantly expands the number of interactions between sellers and buyers of fine art far beyond those generated by art galleries and auction houses alone.
