Thousands of visitors thronged Art Basel Hong Kong, one of Asia's largest contemporary art fairs, to view large-scale installations
The annual fair, which also has editions in Basel, Paris, and Miami Beach, will run from March 23 to 25. The 2023 event is the first in four years to be held in full, after 2020's was cancelled and the next two mostly put on line.
Many galleries at the fair said the reopening of the border with mainland China in January had helped boost business after three years of COVID closures. "We are just really excited to be back after almost four years. And this year is really different, because the borders are reopening." The city is also hosting two financial summits this week, followed next month by the Rugby Sevens three-day tournament and music festival Creamfields.
