Art Basel’s 2014 edition in Hong Kong closed with galleries reporting strong sales throughout all five days, with both established and emerging private collectors from across the world in strong attendance. Visited by over 65,000 people, the show drew high praise and was visited by directors, curators, trustees and patrons from museums and institutions worldwide.
For the 2015 edition of Art Basel in Hong Kong, galleries have a choice of the following sectors for the presentation of their works:
The Galleries sector will present 170 leading modern and contemporary art galleries from Asia and across the world, selected on the merits of their gallery programs. The sector will feature exhibitions from the 20th and 21st centuries, displaying paintings, drawings, sculpture, installation, prints, photography, film, video, and digital artworks.
Insights will present curatorial projects developed by galleries specifically for the show. The sector will exclusively feature galleries from Asia and the Asia-Pacific region and will present works by artists of those regions, including solo shows, exceptional art-historical material and strong thematic group exhibitions.
Discoveries will provide a dedicated platform for emerging contemporary artists from across the world. Galleries will primarily show completely new work and special commissions for the show, featuring one or two emerging artists from their gallery program who are at an early stage of their career.
Please read the application materials carefully and complete the checklist of required documents. Your application must reach us by July 14, 2014, to be considered. We look forward to receiving your application.
The Art Basel team is always happy to assist you. Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at hkapplications [at] artbasel.com.
