Art Basel moves its Hong Kong edition from March to May 2021

In response to the current and ongoing impact of the global pandemic – which includes travel restrictions – Art Basel Hong Kong has been postponed to May 2021.

This decision was taken in close consultation with gallerists, collectors, partners, and external experts, with the goal of ensuring that the fair will be attended by the largest possible number of collectors, curators, and arts professionals from Art Basel’s global network, while protecting the health and safety of everyone concerned.

Adeline Ooi, Director Asia, Art Basel said: “We believe shifting the fair to May is the right decision given the current development of the pandemic and its impact on international travel restrictions. By taking the decision early, our aim is to support our galleries in advance planning for their 2021 programs. We very much look forward to hosting our show in May next year and to welcoming gallerists, collectors, and art lovers back to Hong Kong at that time.”

Further details on the fair as well as the names of participating galleries will be announced early next year.
