Cultural historians, mark your calendars. 2011 was the year that Art HK, May 26-29, 2011, became a stop on the global art tour to rival the Venice Biennale and Art 42 Basel. With 260 participating galleries (up from 150 in 2010) and attendance of over 63,000, Art HK has now far outstripped and outsold SH Contemporary, the Shanghai fair that takes place each September, Art Singapore, which took place in October, and two more local art fairs in Beijing.
