Art Basel: Hong Kong
About This Project
March 29 – 31, 2018
Hong Kong
Details
With the opening of major international art galleries such as White Cube and Gagosian in the city, the relatively young art world of Hong Kong has established itself as a place worth traveling to. What makes this even more compelling is Art Basel Hong Kong, which continues to make waves as one of the world’s best upcoming art fairs. The 2018 edition features 248 premier galleries from 32 countries and territories. Underlining Art Basel’s commitment to the region, half of the participating galleries once again have exhibition spaces in Asia and Asia-Pacific. The show provides an in-depth overview of the region’s diversity through both historical material and cutting-edge works by established and emerging artists.
