Hundreds Queue in Hong Kong to See Van Gogh Painting Unseen in Public for 60 Years

Hundreds of people lined up in Hong Kong on Tuesday to view a Vincent van Gogh painting that has not been shown publicly in more than 60 years, ahead of a Sotheby's auction in New York.

According to Sotheby's, the work is expected to fetch around $180 million at the upcoming sale. It marks the first time the painting has been seen by the public after more than six decades out of public view.

Hong Kong residents flocked to the exhibition venue for the chance to see the rare work in person before it is transferred to New York for auction.
