When Haines was a young, handicapped boy Simon took an interest in him and helped him find a career...

...rooms, which were well attended over the weekend with collectors from throughout the region, including Singapore, China and Indonesia. But Zhao Wuji's "7 Aout 2000" sold for $543,156 - over $44,000 short of Sotheby's low-end estimate of $587,500 - and several pieces, including paintings by star contemporary Chinese artists Zhang Xiaogang and Yue Minjun, went unsold at the modern and contemporary Asian art sale on Oct. 4.
