Rishika Assomull

Writer / See Roots



Rishika Assomull is the Senior Director at Villepin in Hong Kong, where she leads strategic initiatives and strengthens the gallery’s relationships with collectors, estates, and institutions engaged in the Asian art discourse.

 

Prior to joining Villepin, she spent 11 years at Sotheby’s, where she served as Auctioneer, Deputy Director, and Senior Specialist of Modern Art. She began her career at Sotheby’s New York and later moved to Sotheby’s Singapore to deepen her expertise in Southeast Asian Art. Subsequently, she relocated to Sotheby’s Hong Kong, integrating Southeast Asian Art into the global Modern and Contemporary Art departments.

 

She double majored in Art History and Business at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA, USA, where she was awarded the Lerman Neubauer Fellowship and won the Rosalind W. Levine Prize for an exceptional honours thesis in the History of Art.

 

Beyond her expertise in the modern art market, Rishika is dedicated to fostering cultural dialogue and academia. She has lectured at prestigious institutions such as Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, participated in panels, and contributed to important writing, research, and art history projects. She is the author of “The Jakarta Salon,” the first educational account of the pioneering 20th century Indonesian art collection of the late Alexander Papadimitriou, which is scheduled for publishing in 2025.1
