Art Basel Hong Kong has announced the exhibitors and highlights of its 2025 edition, returning to Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 28 to 30 March, with a VIP preview on the two days prior.
Among the 242 galleries from 42 countries and territories partaking the upcoming fair, over half hail from the Asia-Pacific region. Twenty-three galleries will join for the first time, including Berry Campbell (New York), blank projects (Cape Town), and Nicelle Beauchene Gallery (New York).
The main sector will welcome 196 exhibitors, including returning galleries Greene Naftali (New York), kurimanzutto (Mexico City/New York), Matthew Marks Gallery (Los Angeles/New York), Mazzoleni (Turin/London), and Tina Kim Gallery (New York).
Eight galleries join the main sector for the first time. Among them, Aeneas Bastian Fine Art (Berlin) will feature Joseph Beuys' sculptures and portraits by Andy Warhol. Cape Town's blank projects will bring Igshaan Adams' tapestries inspired by Indigenous South African dancers.
Art Basel Hong Kong's Insights sector will spotlight photography in Asia from the 1970s to the present through 24 projects. Each Modern (Taipei) will bring photographs by Nakahira Takuma, while Flowers Gallery (London/Hong Kong) will present a multimedia installation by artist duo Birdhead.
For the first time, the fair has invited Hong Kong independent art space Para Site to curate its public film programme, showcasing work by artists from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
'We're committed to continuing to strengthen our ties with the regional art scene and its rising stars,' said Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong. The impressive galleries lined up for Art Basel Hong Kong 2025 will '[reinforce] the fair's position as a cultural crossroads and vital anchor in Asia's ever-growing art scenes,' she added.
During the fair, the MGM Discoveries Art Prize for emerging artists will announce its inaugural winner. The U.S. $50,000 prize will be shared between the artist and the gallery showcasing their work at Art Basel Hong Kong, and includes an opportunity to exhibit in Macau. —[O]
