After a successful debut in 2007, ShContemporary
returns to the spectacular Shanghai Exhibition Center from
September 9th - 13th. This year the fair
coincides with the opening of the Shanghai Biennale offering
art lovers an unparalleled art extravaganza in Shanghai during
September.
ShContemporary is the only major international
art show that provides a comprehensive top quality overview
of the artistic scene in Asia and creates a cross over with
the works of western artists. “The galleries and artists
in the fair have been selected on the basis of excellent creative
quality that goes beyond fashion and market trends.”
stated Lorenzo Rudolf fair director.
ShContemporary serves as a catalyst for exchanges between
Western and Asian art worlds. Over 130 exhibiting galleries
representing 25 countries will include an equal mix of the
best galleries from the East and top Western galleries. 30
artists from Asia Pacific region will be presented in a unique
curated section Best of Discovery.
