Carrie Lam officiates the opening of Fine Art Fair 2017

With over a decade of experience under its belt, the ever-popular Fine Art Asia made a triumphant return at the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Among the VIP attendees celebrating the launch of the exhibition was Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, Mrs. Carrie Lam. She is a familiar face at the event, having officiated the opening of Fine Art Asia for the past five years in a row.

Lam took a turn of the floor and admired collections of Himalayan art, Mongolian artefacts and French Impressionist paintings.

While viewing some historic china pieces at the Jorge Welsh Works of Art, London and Lisbon booth, Lam commented, “These export porcelains verify the concept of the ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative, and are evidence of the 100 years of cultural exchange along the silk sea route.”

Fine Art Asia remained open for four days, allowing Hong Kong’s art lovers a rare opportunity to view a smorgasbord of artistic mediums spanning over 5,000 years from every corner of the world.

On an avowed mission to cement Hong Kong’s reputation as Asia’s premier creative hub is this month’s Fine Art Asia Fair. Recognised internationally as the event of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region, every year it showcases museum-quality art works spanning an impressive 5,000 years of cultural history, featuring everything from ancient Chinese bronzes to contemporary art.

Now in its tenth year, the event has attracted an ever-increasing number of international galleries. While Hong Kong is no stranger to art fairs, Fine Art Asia distinguishes itself with its varied array of collectible fine art from both Asia and the wider Western world.

This year, the fair is once again playing host to some of the most renowned names in the international art world with an enviable range of antiques, Old Master paintings, impressionist and modern art, jewellery and Chinese ink paintings. Sure to have something that will appeal to everyone, the Fine Art Fair is an event not to be missed and is for bona fide art lovers, as well as those just curious to learn a little more about both classic and contemporary art.
