Now in its 15th edition, the Show will take place from October 4 to 7, 2019 at the Conrad Hong Kong, and will welcome more than 60 galleries from Asia and the world, including up-and-coming and mid-career artists. The show kicks off on Friday, October 4 with the exclusive UnionPay Private View and the UnionPay VIP Collectors Preview.
On show will be more than 1,500 pieces of the most dynamic contemporary art being produced today. Presented across 65 art living spaces, including original paintings, limited editions, sculpture, and photography from some of the world’s most interesting and promising artists – from emerging and mid-career artists to those who have already achieved recognition in private and public collections and at auction.
Bringing a world of art to Hong Kong, the 15th edition of the Show will feature Intersections: China, the fifth in the popular sector series and Artist Dialogues, dedicated to solo and joint artist presentations. Intersections: China presents a series of dynamic and diverse works by selected galleries, artists, and artist collectives that use concepts, techniques, materials or subject matter drawn from the past and re-envision them to reflect the present, find inspiration from traditional arts and reinterpret them for today’s sensibilities, or combine Western artistic genres with China aesthetic forms.
Artist Dialogues invites artists from around the world to exhibit in a solo or joint presentation. Spread across more than 20 art spaces, artists will enjoy an intimate environment to sell their work and to articulate their artistic practice into a viewing, learning, and art buying experience for the visitor.
The 15th Asia Contemporary Art Show presents a unique opportunity for art galleries and artists to participate in the only contemporary art fair in Hong Kong in the Fall and the largest and longest-running hotel art fair in Asia. The show coincides with the Fall auction season at Sotheby’s, Poly Auction, and others and takes place during the Golden Week national holiday, a week when many thousands of visitors descend to Hong Kong. Recognized as Asia’s hub for contemporary art, Hong Kong is the world’s 3rd largest art market and remains the region’s only tax-free and duty-free port for the import and export of artworks. It is home to a large community of collectors and high-net-worth local residents and expats and is a short flight away for art buyers from China and other parts of Asia.
