Art Basel announced the list of 242 leading international galleries selected for its 2019 Hong Kong show. From 36 countries and territories across Asia, Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and Africa, the exhibitors will present Modern and contemporary works of the highest quality by emerging and established artists.
Alongside a robust roster of returning galleries, this year's show features 21 galleries participating in the Hong Kong show for the first time—among them nine galleries in the main sector that have been highly influential in defining the art scenes in Europe and the United States over the past decades including: Galerie Greta Meert from Belgium; Galerie Bärbel Grässlin and Galerie Max Hetzler from Germany; and Luhring Augustine, Matthew Marks Gallery, Paula Cooper Gallery, Regen Projects, Andrew Kreps Gallery and Richard Nagy Ltd from the United States.
At the same time, Art Basel reinforces its ongoing commitment to showcasing exceptional art from Asia and the Asia Pacific, with over half of the participating galleries having exhibition spaces in the region. Seven galleries that previously exhibited in the Insights sector, dedicated to artists from Asia, or in the Discoveries sector, the platform for emerging artists, will be showing for the first time in the main Galleries sector, including from Asia: ROH Projects from Jakarta, Galerie du Monde from Hong Kong, Gow Langsford Gallery from Auckland, and Tang Contemporary Art with spaces in Beijing, Hong Kong and Bangkok among others.
Once again, Hong Kong will be strongly represented at the fair, with 25 galleries having exhibition spaces in the city. While galleries from Australia, India, Japan, Korea, mainland China and Taiwan will continue to have strong presence at the show, this year's edition will also feature great presentations by galleries from Southeast Asia, including Richard Koh Fine Art with spaces in Malaysia and Thailand as a first-time participant presenting Your Past is My Future by Thai artist Natee Utarit; Nova Contemporary showing a new series of works by Burmese artist Moe Satt; and the Indonesian gallery ROH Projects presenting their program in the Galleries sector. Furthermore, New Zealand will be represented by Fox/Jensen, Gow Langsford Gallery and Starkwhite in the Galleries sector, and by Hopkinson Mossman showing a new film by Shannon Te Ao and Michael Lett showing works by Imogen Taylor in Discoveries.
