Art Basel Hong Kong will be held 25 to 27 Mar 2021 in Hong kong, Hong Kong. Art Basel Hong Kong stages the world's premier modern and contemporary art fairs, staged annually in Basel, Miami Beach and Hong Kong. A driving force in supporting the role that galleries play in nurturing the careers of their artists, Art Basel frequently expands its platforms to include the newest developments in the visual arts. In 1970, three Basel gallerists put their passion and determination behind an ambitious vision to form an art fair. Now, Art Basel stages the premier international art shows, providing platforms for galleries and artists from around the world. Art Basel Hong Kong is a good chance to demonstrate the way galleries work with artists, and bring the highest quality work to Hong Kong. Three major sectors of Art Basel Hong Kong are Galleries, Insights and Discoveries. Art collectors, artists, dealers, curators, critics and art lovers are welcome to this international show. Art Basel Hong Kong is an event and I like events...
Three annual shows bring the art world together in some of exciting cities: Basel, in the heart of Europe; Miami Beach, at the nexus of North America and Latin America; and Hong Kong, the Asian city where East meets West. In all, nearly 200,000 visitors view works of art presented by over 500 of the world's leading galleries.
