Art Basel is moving quickly to set to rest any fears that ART HK will lose its Asian edge as it evolves into Art Basel in Hong Kong. Magnus Renfrew will continue to direct the fair in his new capacity as Art Basel's Director Asia and the region is well represented on the selection committee. The jury for the inaugural edition of Art Basel in Hong Kong is:
