White Cube to open an outpost in Hong Kong


White Cube will be the latest major western gallery to open a branch in China according to the Financial Times. Scheduled to open in Hong Kong early next year, it will follow Gagosian's gallery launch there in January. A few years ago Hong Kong wasn't on the international art map, but recently it has emerged as a powerful new Asian art hub fueled by the rise of ART HK and a younger generation of Chinese tastemakers interested in buying Western art.
