Art Basel Hong Kong

Art Basel Hong Kong is an international contemporary art fair held annually in Hong Kong, serving as a major platform for modern and contemporary art from across Asia and beyond. Launched in 2013 as an expansion of the Art Basel brand, the event has grown into one of the most significant gatherings of artists, collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts in the region. It takes place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, a venue that provides a spacious setting for galleries to showcase paintings, sculptures, photographs, and digital installations from both emerging and established artists.

The fair is divided into several sectors, including Galleries, which features works from leading international galleries, and Discoveries, which highlights emerging talent. The Insights sector focuses on projects rooted in the Asia-Pacific region, offering historical and thematic exhibitions that provide deeper context to regional art narratives. Additionally, Encounters presents large-scale installations and sculptures, while Film explores experimental and documentary cinema related to contemporary art.

Art Basel Hong Kong plays a key role in shaping the city’s position as a global art hub, complementing its extensive network of museums, galleries, and auction houses. Its presence also coincides with a broader internationalization of the Asian art market, reflecting Hong Kong’s long-standing role as a cultural and commercial gateway linking East and West.
