Day 1 of Art Basel Hong Kong 2024.
Of the roughly 242 galleries from 40 countries, these are some of the highlights we saw briefly, as HKCEC welcomed us to view great art and sculptures of every vintage from across Asia, Africa, Americas and Europe - some exhibiting for the very first time in the city.
The opening day was meant to be a private affair, a handful of select invited VIPs to peruse at peace, but it was not meant to be. Already in the melee we saw a notable return to the fair's pre-pandemic scale, be it in number of guests, gallerists, artists and admirers.
The champagne crowd was out in full force--thank you Ruinart for the bubbles btw--and we've already seen keen interest on some of the larger pieces and collages. Watch this space for more as our stringers head out in the coming busy-as-can-be days (and nights!) ahead.
