HONG KONG.- Back for its third year, ART HK 10 – Hong Kong International Art Fair will take place from 27 – 30 May 2010 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Sponsored by Deutsche Bank, ART HK 10 is delighted to present the strongest exhibitor line-up for an art fair in Asia to date, affirming its position as the leading art fair in Asia.
This year, ART HK 10 will welcome over 140 galleries from 27 countries. Leading galleries such as Gagosian Gallery, Lisson Gallery & White Cube are returning this year and, in addition to top level galleries from Asia, ART HK will present a strengthened line-up of western galleries. New additions include Hauser & Wirth from Zurich, London & New York, Galerie Lelong from New York, Paris & Zurich, Emmanuel Perrotin from Paris.
The Fair will also feature diverse solo presentations from a number of the world’s most respected contemporary artists. Highlights so far include Chinese artist Liu Ye for Sperone Westwater, Japanese artists Yoshitomo Nara for Marianne Boesky, Aya Takano for Emmanuel Perrotin and the acclaimed Glasgow artist Jim Lambie for The Modern Institute.
Magnus Renfrew, Fair Director, ART HK, is delighted with the success of ART HK 08 and ART HK 09 and looks forward to continued growth: “We are excited that the role of ART HK takes an even bigger step forward in 2010 with the support of Deutsche Bank” he explained. “We are very pleased that so many established galleries from around the globe want to show their best work at ART HK 10”.
Since the Fair’s inception in 2008, ART HK has welcomed nearly 50,000 visitors. Last year, ART HK 09 hosted a total of 115 galleries from 24 countries, and the Fair space increased by one-third over its inaugural year.
ART HK 10 will see the development of the ART FUTURES section, welcoming exciting young galleries for the first time. Debuting at last year’s Fair, the ART FUTURES section is dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging artists from new galleries less than five years old, providing a unique opportunity for visitors to experience the latest developments in cutting edge art.
