It is very rare to see a perfect fusion of art and modern day electronics into one rare piece of artistic wonder. Samsung Electronics has teamed up with Christie’s
to auction a one-off 78” Curved UHD TV sporting a gold lacquer-painted back at the Christie’s Hong Kong autumn auction beginning on November 20. The artistic Ottchil carving, a Korean lacquer painting technique dating back to the Neolithic Era was engraved on the UHD TV’s back by Korean artist Sung Yong Hong. The artist specializes in this ancient technique and going with the theme “Memory of TV”, Sung engraved iconic scenes of television’s history on the rear face of the UHD TV.
According to Eric Changm Head of Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art at Christie’s, this is the first ever home electronics product that they will put up for auction and the impressive design makes it all worthwhile.
Of-course this is all being done for a noble cause as the amount from the auction will go to the Orbis, a global non-profit organization (NGO) aimed at improving access to high quality eye-health. The organization takes pride in working towards prevention and treatment of the causes of avoidable blindness.
It remains to be seen, as to how much amount this exclusive Samsung 78” Curved UHD TV engraved with the rare Ottchil art imprinted on the back in gold lacquer. We’ll keep you updated on it.
