Apart from London and New York, Hong Kong is one of the largest centers of the international art and auction market. Numerous museums and branches of large galleries have taken root in the metropolis. Art Hong Kong, Asia’s most important contemporary art fair to date, belongs to Art Basel since May 2011. The Hong Kong show of Art Basel will feature more than 250 exhibitors from around the globe and will present an impressive spectrum of contemporary works of art, with more than fifty percent of the galleries coming from Asia and the Pacific Ocean coastal regions. Paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, photographs, editions, and videos from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries by around two thousand artists will be on display. This publication is testimony to this incomparable cultural exchange within the art world. Art Basel in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) May 23–26, 2013
