Lorenzo Rudolf, the art fair impresario who changed the way art is consumed with Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach, will present the first edition of Art Stage Singapore from 12 - 16 January 2011. He is also working with the Singapore Art Museum on an exhibition of works by artists such as Subodh Gupta and Ai Weiwei, drawn from a cache of notable collections in the region, that will be a special feature of the new art fair.
In a recent interview with Mayo Martin he ranges across the state of the international art market, art fair developments in the Asia/Pacific region and why Hong Kong and Singapore will lead the way, art fair "bling-bling", and the relationship between the holy trinity of the art market - the auction houses, biennales and art fairs.
