Descripción de la Exposición
Art Basel is pleased to announce the participating exhibitors and key details of its 2025 edition in Hong Kong, taking place from March 28–30, 2025, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). This edition will feature 240 galleries from 42 countries and territories, showcasing a diverse range of artistic practices that reflect the fair’s commitment to global diversity and regional representation. More than half of the participating galleries are from the Asia-Pacific, highlighting Art Basel’s vital role as a platform for the region’s dynamic art scene.
The fair’s core sectors include Galleries, the main sector for established and blue-chip galleries; Discoveries, which spotlights solo projects by emerging artists; and Insights, offering curated projects from artists across Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.
This year, the Galleries sector will present a rich mix of exhibitors from across the Asia-Pacific, including emerging, mid-size, and blue-chip galleries from Japan, Korea, India, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, and Australia. Notable solo presentations in the Galleries sector include Lawrie Shabibi (Dubai), Rossi & Rossi (Hong Kong), P420 (Bologna) and Ronchini Gallery (London). Additionally, Insights will showcase historic photography presentations from Asia, with contributions from Flowers Gallery (London, Hong Kong), Each Modern (Taipei), Takuro Someya Contemporary Art (Tokyo), Yutaka Kikutake Gallery (Tokyo), and The Drawing Room (Manila). The Discoveries sector will offer an exciting selection of emerging galleries, with participants from diverse locales ranging from Beijing to Pristina.
The show will welcome 23 newcomers across all sectors, with exhibitors from Cape Town, Berlin, and New York joining Galleries, while Insights will feature newcomers from Hong Kong, Noida, and Melbourne. Eight galleries will enter the fair’s main sector from the Greater China Region, as well as India, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Austria, and the United Kingdom, emphasizing Art Basel Hong Kong’s commitment to regional growth.
Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, said: “The impressive line-up of galleries participating in our 2025 Hong Kong edition reinforces the fair’s position as a cultural crossroads and vital anchor in Asia's ever-growing art scenes. We’re committed to continuing to strengthen our ties with the local art scene and its rising stars - our collaboration with the leading local nonprofit organization Para Site for the public Film Program is a historic first, while the MGM Discoveries Art Prize will honor its inaugural winner during the show next year. According to the recently released Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2024, Mainland Chinese HNWIs reported the highest spend on art and antiques in 2023 and the first half of 2024, more than double any other region, further bolstering our positive outlook for this March."
For the first time, Art Basel’s public Film Program will be curated by the Hong Kong independent art institution, Para Site, demonstrating the fair’s commitment to expanding its partnership with institutions to support the local art ecosystem. The Film Program will feature works by filmmakers from Asia and beyond, offering a global perspective that transcends regional boundaries.
Billy Tang, Executive Director and Curator of Para Site, said: “An important mission of Para Site is to identify and support the visibility of cutting-edge artists working across a variety of disciplines, with a particular focus on the rapidly evolving field of moving image. Moving image today has the power to bridge multi-sensory worlds together and open up new possibilities for artistic expression. We’re incredibly honored to be invited as an organisation, which enables us to draw on the enormous collective talent of our curators, and we look forward to taking a collaborative approach to further activate the program beyond the fair.”
The MGM Discoveries Art Prize, a newly established award for Art Basel Hong Kong’s 2025 edition aimed at supporting emerging artists and fostering new talents, will be awarded for the first time in 2025. The winner of the prize, to be announced during Art Basel Hong Kong next March, will be awarded with a cash prize of USD 50,000 to be shared between the artist and their gallery, along with the opportunity for the artist to exhibit their work in Macau, fostering meaningful dialog with the emerging artist community, and participating in an enriching, exclusive art experience.
Co-commissioned by Art Basel and M+ and presented by UBS, Night Charades by Singaporean artist Ho Tzu Nyen will illuminate the M+ Facade with a tribute to Hong Kong’s vibrant film culture. Recomposed by AI and constantly re-edited by an algorithm, the work offers a dynamic re-interpretation of history. It evokes the collective memory of this singular cinematic legacy while generating a new, futuristic vision from it.
