This was the start of his rapid ascension in business and society. Mr Quek proved himself to be a very successful businessman, banker, entrepreneur and investor. In his free time, he met with collectors and dealers of Chinese works of art from around the world. He also read and researched as much he could to build his knowledge. He became well known to the leading auction houses and authorities because of his encyclopaedic knowledge and his increasingly impressive collection of Chinese art.
