Join Tatler 500 listers and other art experts at Art Basel Hong Kong
Art authorities from near and far—including several figures from Hong Kong Tatler’s 500 List—are hosting talks at this year’s Conversations programme at Art Basel in Hong Kong.
Taking place inside the Convention and Exhibition Centre, the talks are free and open to all, even if you don’t have a ticket to the fair itself. Here are five you shouldn’t miss:
1. ArtAsiaPacific at 25 | Early Days: The Chinese Art Market in the 1990s
When: Thursday, March 28, 11am-12:30pm
Johnson Chang is widely credited as the man who put Chinese contemporary art on the global map, so it’s only fitting that he’s taking part in this talk, which reflects on the market for contemporary Mainland Chinese art in the 1990s. Other participants include Claire Roberts, an Australian Research Council Future Fellow; art curator and historian Karen Smith, who’s director of OCAT Xi’an; and legendary art collector Uli Sigg.
This discussion is one of several talks celebrating the 25th anniversary of art magazine ArtAsiaPacific, so is being moderated by Antony Dapiran, one of the magazine’s contributing editors.
