WHY
As one of the most prestigious art fairs of the world, explore a diverse selection of Asian and international contemporary art. The fair is divided into 8 sectors; each sector has a specific focus, from monumental works to historical voices from the Asia-Pacific region. We especially love the fair’s curated projects within the individual gallery booths, which delve deeper into history to focus on the different practices of various artists. In addition, the Encounters sector – the show’s selection of large-scale installations – is particularly noteworthy.
