Hundreds of people queued on Tuesday outside a Hong Kong gallery to see a Vincent van Gogh painting on public display for the first time in six decades.

The Dutch artist's Chataigniers en fleurs ( Chestnut Trees In Blossom ) was on show in Hong Kong ahead of its Nov 18 auction in New York, where it is expected to smash records and fetch around US$180mil (RM735mil), according to Sotheby's.
