Art Basel

Art Basel
Art Basel Hong Kong is Asia’s largest contemporary art fair. The annual event was launched in 2013 when it took over Art HK and is hosted at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. It is run by the same company that holds Art Basel fairs in Basel and Miami Beach. During the week there are countless gallery exhibitions and parties that take place across the city on the back of all the excitement that the fair generates.
