OK, so the art fair is on fire! Amazing this year. The show opened Wednesday and I have never seen a crowd like it, just absolutely packed. A wonderful thing to see in HK, so many people engaged by art.
If you didn't already go, it's open until tomorrow. May 17th,at the HK Convention Centre in Wanchai.
Here's some cool stuff from the show...

This is my work at the 10 Chancery Lane Gallery booth

Aanish Kapoor had a few things on display

Man, I'm so sick of seeing Mao in Chinese art but this was kinda cute...

Tiny little video, very cool...

Marc Quinn, love it...

Basquiat, always blows me away...

Japanese artist, a real stuffed leopard in there...

Anthony Gormley, wonderful.

Dress made of porcelain, amazing....

Dresses made from mah jong tiles, cute....

A ton of Julien Opie. Kinda seems like design to me but nice anyway...

A lot of works strike me as playful. Which is nice. A little inconsequential, maybe? Somehow, I expect art to challenge comfort zones. Admittedly, that may just be me.

Anyway, interesting pictures. Thank you for sharing.

BTW, saw your HK exhibitions in December. Poignant food for thought. For those, I thank you even more. :-)
