Art Basel Hong Hong opened Thursday (March 28) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, showcasing artworks from 243 galleries worldwide through Saturday (March 29).
The Hong Kong edition of the world's largest art fair this year features six sections housing artworks from both established and up-and-coming artists.
"Hong Kong is a big art market filled with collectors, curators and art enthusiasts from around the world," said Pedro Gohlke, director of a gallery based in Madrid, while fielding inquiries from a crowd of show-goers.
Established in 1970 in Basel, Switzerland, Art Basel made its debut in Hong Kong in 2013. These days, it takes place annually in Basel, Miami, Florida, and Hong Kong, respectively.
Concurrent with Art Basel, Art Central, another international art fair, is also being held in Hong Kong. Slated through Sunday, this year's event is the biggest since it was launched in 2015.
