I love art fairs. Just this past weekend there was a major art fair in Hong Kong-- It was the 2010 International Art Fair or Art HK 10. This is the 3rd year for the Hong Kong Art Fair. This 4-day event was expected to bring in hoards of art collectors, gallery directors, curators, educators and art lovers.
The Hong Kong International Art Fair reminds me of the first world’s fairs. The Great Exhibition of Works of the Industry of all Nations was the beginning of world’s fairs. This international fair was held in 1851 London. The purpose of this fair was to provide a place to exhibit the glass works of the industry from all nations. Of course, these international expositions were also important for national pride. This exhibition attracted about 6 million visitors.
The purpose of the Hong Kong art fair was to provide a spot light for contemporary and modern art in Asia. Representatives from 155 galleries from 29 countries were present. From the reviews I have had an opportunity to review so far, Art HK 10 was a success. I not sure of the attendance but I’m sure it was impressive. This fair certainly continues to put Hong Kong on the cultural art map.
