Fine Art Asia 2013, Asia’s leading international fine art fair, will be held from 4-7 October at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, with a Private Preview and Vernissage on 3 October. This is the fair’s 9th edition, paving the way for the milestone 10th edition in 2014.
The Organizer, Art & Antique International Fair Ltd (AAIF) was founded in 2006 by well-known antique Chinese furniture expert, Mr. Andy Hei, to provide a vibrant new platform in Hong Kong for the art world in Asia and worldwide. The company is the pioneer of art fairs in Hong Kong: its inaugural fair in 2006 was the first international art fair in Hong Kong in more than a decade.
In 2010, Fine Art Asia was recognised as Hong Kong’s first global art brand, featuring internationally renowned exhibitors specializing in a wide range of antiques, fine art, jewellery and design, as well as attracting the world’s foremost collectors. In 2011, art collector and cultural advisor, Mr. Calvin Hui, joined Fine Art Asia as Co-Chairman and Director.
With his expert knowledge of the art market and a passion for promoting art and culture, Mr. Hui brings new visions to Fine Art Asia and aims to enhance the fair’s status in the international art world. At Fine Art Asia 2012, Asia’s first 20th century Italian design furniture exhibition was held and received positive reviews.
In 2013, a new Chinese name of Fine Art Asia is announced. This year will see the first-ever partnership with Masterpiece London, in which Fine Art Asia will present a Hong Kong Pavilion in the 4th edition of Masterpiece London; Masterpiece London will also sponsor a European Pavilion at Fine Art Asia 2013. This exciting partnership underlines Fine Art Asia’s status in the international art world as Asia’s leading international fine art fair.
