Art Basel returns in a big way to Hong Kong, the city that aspires to Asia's cultural throne. The fair recovers its pre-pandemic size this year, but the city's artistic offering has completely changed since then.

The number of exhibitors interested in showing their most popular artists at Art Basel Hong Kong has grown by 37% in 2024, reaching a record of 243 galleries from 40 countries. In 2023, Hong Kong art exports increased almost 60% in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2022.
