Art Basel in Hong Kong retains an Asian identity


The Art Basel Group has announced the exhibitor list for the debut edition of Art Basel in Hong Kong, which will take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 23 - 26 May. More than half of the exhibitors hail from the region, putting to rest fears that the revamped fair would lose its Asia/Pacific focus under Art Basel management. Exhibitors from Australia and New Zealand are included in the lineup: Jensen Gallery (Sydney) Murray White Room (Melbourne), Roslyn Oxley9 (Sydney) and Starkwhite (Auckland) in the Galleries section; Dianne Tanzer Gallery + Projects (Melbourne), Neon Parc (Melbourne), Ryan Renshaw Gallery (Brisbane) and Sullivan + Strumpf (Sydney) in the Insights section; and Utopian Slumps (Melbourne) in the Discoveries section. View exhibitor list.
