How City Plans to Remain a Leading Global Art Hub
This year is crucial for the Hong Kong art world, with Art Basel and Art Central returning to the city amidst political and economic challenges. Despite a slowdown in art buying due to China’s economic issues, Hong Kong remains a key player in the global art market. The new national security law has raised concerns over freedom of expression, impacting the creative community. However, the art trade continues to thrive, with confidence from major players and ongoing demand from collectors. The political climate requires caution, but Hong Kong’s support for the arts is growing. Despite uncertainties, Hong Kong remains a vital hub for the Asian and global art scenes, with a strong local art community shaping its future.
