Art Basel Hong Kong | 27.03.-29.03.2026
Art Basel Hong Kong aims to be a central platform for the art market in the Asia-Pacific region and to showcase the diversity and dynamism of the regional art scene in a global context. It brings together a carefully curated selection of modern and contemporary artworks from leading galleries in Asia and around the world. A particular focus is placed on promoting exchange between artists, galleries, collectors, and institutions in order to strengthen cultural networking in the region. The fair encompasses a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installations.
Special features:
One of Art Basel Hong Kong’s particular strengths lies in its ability to showcase Asian artistic production while offering a global perspective. The fair is known for its various sections, including the main “Galleries” section, the “Insights” section, which presents historical and contemporary art from Asia and the region, and the ‘Discoveries’ section for new works by emerging artists. The “Encounters” section showcases large-scale sculptures and installations that go beyond the standard gallery booths. An extensive accompanying program of panel discussions, artist talks, and film screenings, as well as parallel events in the city, make Art Basel Hong Kong a cultural highlight.
Target audience:
Art Basel Hong Kong is aimed at an international professional audience, including leading art collectors, curators from museums and institutions, art advisors, and gallery owners. It also attracts a broad audience of art enthusiasts who are interested in significant works of modern and contemporary art, particularly from the Asian region, and who wish to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire works of art of the highest quality.
History:
Art Basel Hong Kong was launched in 2013 and has since rapidly become one of the world’s most important art fairs and an indispensable event in the global art calendar. It has played a key role in positioning Hong Kong as an important gateway and center for the art trade in the Asia-Pacific region.
