The only fair in Asia to show the best of modern and contemporary art, showcasing 100 top galleries from across the world.
The inaugural ART HK 08 will take place in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 14-18 May 2008. ART HK 08 is the first truly international art fair to be staged in Hong Kong in over a decade. With over 100 top galleries from across the globe, ART HK 08 is the only fair in Asia to present the very best of both Modern and Contemporary Art. It will introduce Asian collectors to blue-chip and emerging artists from the West, as well as showcasing new art from Asia and around the world to a global audience.
Asia and above all China has well and truly arrived on the international art scene. With the meteoric rise of Contemporary Asian Art, the eyes of the world are transfixed as the region asserts growing importance culturally as well as economically. Collectors and curators, the world over, are awakening to the quality and significance of works from Asia in today’s shifting cultural landscape. In turn, collectors from Asia are buying not only Asian Contemporary Art but also International Modern and Contemporary work from around the globe. Hong Kong has long been recognised as the gateway to Asia and the West and provides the ideal location for a major international art fair that reflects the rapidly changing times in which we live.
