The Hong Kong International Arts Festival 2011 closed on Sunday, and it was my third time after also attending the 2009 and 2010 exhibitions. The exhibition seems to get bigger, more crowded and more interesting as the years go by. They truly have some of the world’s best galleries with some very famous and unbelievably expensive works of art on general public display.
It was good to see some old “friends” from previous years. Like this fat naked guy…
Or mainlander infamous Yue Minjun’s smiling people.
The official website has the overview :
ART HK 11, Asia’s preeminent Art Fair and one of the most eagerly anticipated events on the international art calendar returns to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, where 260 galleries from 38 countries will come together to offer the largest display of contemporary art ever seen in Hong Kong.
From 26th – 29th May, ART HK 11 will present works from modern masters such as Picasso through to important contemporary artists such as Takashi Murakami and Damien Hirst, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the very best and most extensive showcase of modern and contemporary art in Asia.
With prices ranging from HK$8,000 to HK$80M, ART HK provides the perfect opportunity to build your collection whether you are buying your first art work or are an established collector looking to invest in your next masterpiece.
