Art Basel's Asian edition draws collectors and galleries from across the Pacific Rim for three days of museum-calibre presentations. A strong focus on Asian contemporary art alongside blue-chip international galleries makes this the definitive fair for anyone building a collection with an eye on the East.
What to Expect
Three floors of gallery presentations spanning modern masters through to digital art. The fair's Encounters sector presents large-scale installations throughout the venue, while the Kabinett sector offers curated presentations within gallery booths. The Conversations programme brings together leading voices in art for public talks.
Insider Tips
- VIP preview days are 25–26 March — this is where serious acquisitions happen and the atmosphere is more measured.
