A few years ago, Hong Kong barely registered on the world’s art radar. All that’s changed. Now there are over 200 world-class galleries in Hong Kong, and art buyers from all over the planet shop for great art here. It’s no wonder, then, that Art Basel, the premier modern-art market, now does a regular show in the Chinese city.
Make your way to the meeting point to join your expert local guide for a 2-hour tour of that world. Visit over five galleries in SoHo (the area south of Hollywood Road) and explore the art work on display. Learn how Hong Kong became the center of art in Asia, as well as who the city’s emerging artists are. Listen to your guide explain the meaning of some of the art and help you come up with your own analysis of its meaning.
Learn from your guide about the gallery market and its operating dynamics, as well as the career path of a typical emerging artist. If artists or dealers happen to be in the galleries, the guide will invite them to join the tour and discuss the local art scene with you. At the conclusion of the tour, you can continue to explore the area’s galleries, armed with a new appreciation for all that you’ll find.
