Exciting Debut of Art021 in Hong Kong: Ambitious and Diverse
The debut edition of Art021HK in Hong Kong, an offshoot of the Shanghai art fair Art021, showcases a diverse and ambitious range of artwork. With a mix of gallery exhibitions and collateral events spread throughout the city, the event aims to bring fresh perspectives to the art market. The inclusion of younger mainland Chinese artists and those from the Global South at more accessible price points sets Art021HK apart from other art fairs in the region. Supported by government funding, the fair has attracted collectors from mainland China and beyond, showcasing a variety of contemporary art from different regions. Despite some venues opting out, Art021HK has made a significant impact on the Hong Kong art scene, encouraging visitors to dream and explore beyond traditional art market boundaries.
