Why  you should attend Photo Shanghai 2021?

Photo Shanghai has been created in direct response to the buoyant photography market in China and the increasing demand from galleries to expand their networks across the Asia-Pacific region.  For the galleries involved, the fair brings exposure and opportunity in one of photography’s fastest growing markets and its first and second edition set new benchmarks for photography across the region.

With its mass appeal, photography is perhaps the most prolific artistic medium of our era and is rapidly expanding.  The Chinese art market is particularly buoyant with a 31% increase in 2013 and an increasingly stable and loyal collector base.  It is an exciting time in Shanghai with the maturity of the local art scene, rapid increase in museums and cultural institutions and the growth of auction houses and international and local galleries. 

Talks and Events:

Photo Shanghai offers visitors an extensive public talks and events programme, with each event intended to further explore and celebrate the local and international fine art photography market. Each event is led by a high-profile panel of experts and encourages debate engaging with a live audience.

Last edition of Photo Shanghai China:

The 2021 edition included a special museum scale exhibition of 156 works by celebrated American artist Taryn Simon, presented by Gagosian Gallery.

Venue:

Photo Shanghai 2021 will take place at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre.

Officially nominated as one of Shanghai’s leading architectural buildings, the Shanghai Exhibition Centre is an iconic landmark in the centre of the city.  It is located next to West Nanjing Road, the premier luxury retail street in central Shanghai.
