ARTIST PROFILE @ ART HK10
The 2010 Honk Kong International Art Fair kicked off last night to much fanfare and a throng of crowds – artists, curators, collectors and galleriest amongst everyday art lovers – from around the world. The fair, in its third year, has grabbed the attention of the international art world as it plays host to some of the most respected galleries and their represented artists from all corners of the globe.
Participating galleries include London’s White Cube, New York’s James Cohan Gallery and Galerie Urs Meile of both Beijing and Lucerne. Sitting along side these galleries are some of Australia’s heavy weights who clearly see this fair as the foray into a market perfect for their artists as they increase their profiles to an international scale. Returning for their second or third times, BREENSPACE, Conny Dietzschold Gallery, GBK, GRANTPIERRIE and Mori Galleries have all been joined by first timers Roslyn Oxley9, Sullivan + Strumpf Fine Art, Sutton Galleries and Tolarno Galleries.
Many eyes are watching over this emerging fair and, by all accounts, it’s impressed both exhibitors and visitors alike. Stay tuned for more in depth stories of our time here at the 2010 Hong Kong International Art Fair.
