Asia Contemporary Art Show brought a "world of art" to Hong Kong

2,500 works from 18 countries were presented.

The fifth edition of the Asia Contemporary Art Show kicked off recently with an invitation-only VIP Collectors Preview, with the show having run through October 5th on four floors at the Conrad Hong Kong.

According to a release from Asia Contemporary Art Show, the show’s theme for 2014 was ‘Bringing a World of Art to Hong Kong.’

Artworks on show included original paintings, limited editions, sculpture and photography, and ranged from those by celebrated artists with a proven history of auction and secondary market sales, to interesting emerging artists.

Organisers of the event, Asia Contemporary Art Ltd, also own Hong Kong’s largest art website, www.asiacontemporaryart.com.

The site complements and adds value to the two annual shows, giving visitors access to the art continuously throughout the year.

“The website now features 650 artists and 2,300 artworks from 150 galleries,” said Director of the Asia Contemporary Art Show, Mark Saunderson.

“Collectors and art lovers can browse and buy from the site before, during and after our two shows in Spring and Fall, and can register for “Art Alerts” to receive regular updates when new works are available.”
