Art Basel Hong KongProfile
Art Basel Hong Kong has been steadfastly committed since its inception in 1970 to fostering connections between the world’s leading galleries and their patrons, while also serving as a vital platform for international artistic exchange.As one of Art Basel’s three global venues, the Hong Kong edition is Asia’s largest and most influential international art fair. It brings together top-tier galleries, collectors, curators, and museum directors, making it a strategic hub for galleries seeking to build an international reputation and enter the Asian market.
The exhibition is organized into six distinct sections—“Art Spaces,” “Galleries,” “Asian Perspectives,” “New Horizons,” “Lighting the Scene,” and “Curatorial Corner”—presenting diverse artistic visions, historical narratives, and forward‑looking works by established and emerging artists, thereby offering visitors a fresh and immersive art experience.
Art Basel Hong Kong features 243 leading galleries from 40 countries and regions. Among them, galleries hailing from Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa showcase exceptional quality across all artistic disciplines.
Noah Horowitz, CEO of Art Basel, emphasized his unwavering commitment to further elevating and strengthening the Basel platform, ensuring that the fair continues to engage both seasoned and emerging audiences and artists in meaningful ways. He described this as an exciting journey brimming with potential, expressing great enthusiasm for guiding the organization toward innovative approaches that positively impact the communities it serves and reimagine Art Basel’s role within the global art landscape.
Hong Kong has emerged as the region in Asia with the highest concentration of international galleries, cementing Central as a renowned cultural landmark. As one of the world’s largest cultural projects, Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District encompasses three major cultural institutions—the M+ Museum, the Hong Kong Palace Museum, and the Xiqu Centre—transforming Victoria Harbour into an “Art Bay.”
With five compelling exhibition zones, alongside initiatives such as “Conversations with Art Basel” and “Lighting the Scene,” as well as collaborations with local arts organizations, Art Basel Hong Kong delivers an exceptionally diverse and vibrant artistic voice.
It is worth noting that Art Basel also partners closely with galleries, artists, world‑class institutions, and cultural collaborators.During the fair, Art Basel Hong Kong will launch a series of dynamic arts and cultural events and programs throughout the city.

Exhibition Review
The 2025 Art Basel Hong Kong took place from March 28 to 30 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, under the theme “Repositioning.” The fair attracted 240 galleries from 42 countries and regions, including 23 making their debut, and drew a total of 91,000 visitors. The event showcased five key highlights and emerging trends:
A Gathering of International Blue-Chip Galleries: World‑renowned institutions such as Hauser & Wirth, David Zwirner, Pace Gallery, Gagosian, and White Cube presented works by leading contemporary and modern artists. Hauser & Wirth exhibited Louise Bourgeois’s installation “Cage (Choisy No. 2)”; David Zwirner focused on figurative painters like Luc Tuymans; Pace Gallery featured sculptures by Alighiero Boetti alongside works by Chinese artists including Zhang Xiaogang and Song Dong; while White Cube highlighted creations by Ida Applebroog, Liu Ye, Zhou Li, and others.
An Amplified Presence of Asian and Emerging Forces: Galleries from Southeast Asia and Africa saw a marked increase in prominence, with South African firms like blank projects and LambdaLambdaLambda participating for the first time. Philippine galleries Silverlens and The Drawing Room stood out, with Pasida Abad’s large-scale work acquired by a Southeast Asian museum for US$500,000. Meanwhile, Chinese galleries—including Beijing Commune, ShanghART, and Hive Center for Contemporary Art—presented works by artists such as Wang Guangle, Ding Yi, and Han Mengyun.

These included He Enhuai’s series of 30 brass sculptures, Lu Yang’s virtual avatar piece “Only One, Only Death—The Creator,” and Wang Yefeng’s “Desert Garden,” all exploring the intersection of digital and physical realms.
