Luxurious art in Hong Kong AND what did Art Basel bring!
Contemporary Art, that is what Hong Kong was all about at the end of March. A wonderful location, visited for its exotic panorama, architecture, luxury variety of meals, traditionally becomes a great place for shopping, turns once a year into an arts centre.
Art Basel presented here, say, under one roof, luxury works from a total of 248 premium world galleries. 28 of them participated for the first time ever. Visitors could thus obtain an amazing overview of contemporary art, from established artists to complete newcomers.
European, American and Asian art together
A visit of such a huge fair, as is Art Basel, is very demanding, not only because of the time involved. Would you be able to continuously for several hours take in the beauty, absurdity and unexpected worlds of contemporary art in all its possible forms? To concentrate on thousands and thousands of luxury works of art is not easy. However, if you are interested in art, we will make it easier for you. In our gallery below the article we bring you a cross-section of everything that there was to be seen in Hong Kong.
Trade fair in particular to make contacts
Not that Art Basel would not be intended for the general public. Of course it is and visitors are welcome. Above all, however, the fair of such type facilitates interesting meetings of artists themselves, gallery operators, collectors of luxury art or traders who here interconnect their worlds and often enter into agreements.
The popularity of this fair is so great that this year it attracted a total of 80,000 visitors. Art Basel regularly takes place in European Basel and American Miami Beach. For this year the following dates have been selected: Basel: 14. - 17. June and Miami Beach: 6. - 9. December.
