Art Basel is the king of all art fairs and big art follows Big Money. Because of the recession Europe is running out of Big Money so Art Basel is now expanding to Hong Kong so for the fist time one can check out lots of Asian galleries at this colossal fair.

If you can’t jump in your private jet to whisk over to Asia the folks at artsy.net are happy to give you a preview. Or jump over to the Art Basel web site for an online catalog. The fair is divided into 4 Sectors: Galleries, Insights, Discoveries & Encounters.

Art Basel Hong Kong: May 23–26, 2013

Welcome to the newest Art Basel show. With half of the participating galleries coming from Asia and Asia-Pacific, Art Basel in Hong Kong assumes a significant role in the international artworld, providing a portal to the region’s artists. The new show gives galleries from around the world a platform in Asia to demonstrate the way they work with artists, and bring their highest quality work to Hong Kong.

Yes you will see “art” that will most likely just make you laugh (and not pull out your wallet)

But as in all art fairs you have to look for the jewels. Great art takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary; like Ichwan Noor’s Beetle Sphere.

Best Galleries in New York Series: Laurence Miller Gallery

 

 

 

If Art Basel can be in Miami then logic concludes Paris Photo can be in Los Angeles, April 26-28th. A great way to see an excellent and large cross section of contemporary and vintage photography.  Don’t go here and expect them to hang out and look at your prints. The galleries in this premier exhibition are there for one reason only: To sell you lots of very expensive photographs by the best shooters in the world… This is one of the biggest shows when in Europe. It will be interesting to see how it works in LA.

 

Paris Photo was created in 1996 and is the most prestigious art fair dedicated  to historical and contemporary photography. This fair takes place annually at the Grand Palais in Paris mid-November and at the Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles at the end of April. Over the past 16 years, Paris Photo has become a significant event for collectors of contemporary and modern art, photography professionals, artists,  as well as for an ever-growing audience of art appreciators. Each edition is unique and brings together a distinguished selection of exhibitors with diverse collections focused on the photographic medium. A public program is also an important component of the fairs which is built around cultural events involving artists, art world professionals, collectors, and cultural institutions.Enriched by the unique cultural environment of these two cities, Paris Photo  offers its visitors an unsurpassed experience in two historic locations which bring together all the different trends in photography.
