We are pleased to announce that we will be returning to ART HK in 2011 (we were at the 2009 and 2010 editions of the fair). While we will continue to work with art fairs in Europe and the USA - over the past two years we've participated in Art Basel's Art Statements and Art Unlimited, The Armory Show, Art Cologne and Art Los Angeles Contemporary - we are also committed to working with the art fairs that are emerging in the Asia/Pacific region such as ART HK.
The lineup of galleries for ART HK 2011 includes: 1301PE, ARNDT, Beijing Commune, Bernier/Eliades Gallery, Galerie Bruno Bischofberger, Blum & Poe, Marianne Boesky Gallery, Gavin Brown's Enterprise, James Cohan Gallery, Sadie Coles HQ, CONTEMPORARY FINE ARTS, Gagosian Gallery, Gladstone Gallery, Lisson Gallery, Long March Space, Marian Goodman Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, Tomio Koyama Gallery, Sean Kelly Gallery, Kukje Gallery, Yvon Lambert, Kate MacGarry, Galerie Urs Meile, Victoria Miro Gallery, The Modern Institute, NANZUKA UNDERGROUND, ONE AND J Gallery, Pace Beijing, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Anna Schwartz Gallery, Sperone Westwater, Spruth Magers Berlin London, Vilma Gold Gallery, Vitamin Space, White Cube and David Zwirner.
ART HK is clearly on the rise. The third edition of Art HK in 2010 attracted 47,000 visitors (up from 30,000 the previous year) compared to 60,000 for Art Basel and The Armory Show and is expected to increase in 2011.
