To put that into perspective, if you were to spend just three minutes with each booth, it would take you more than 12 hours to complete the fair. It’s scaled up from last year when the post-Covid hangover was still palpable in and around the city, and the renaissance is helping cement Hong Kong as the art capital of Asia, aided by the recent openings of numerous brilliant museums and galleries.
Commerce still rules in most Art Basel Hong Kong booths, with artwork densely decking much of the wall space, leaving little room to breathe. In comparison, Xavier Hufken’s booth feels unique. That’s not to say there was a lack of art – an excellent new work by Nathanaëlle Herbelin captures the woozy atmosphere of the dinner table, and another by Japanese artist Ulala Imai brings to life some fluffy stuffed toys, entering the fantastical minds of her children at play.
