    This is the first ABHK that will take place after Hong Kong lifted the requirements on hotel quarantine and mask-wearing.

    Residents will be able to freely enjoy the art events throughout the city and international visitors are more than welcome as well.

    This year, 22 exhibitors from all over the world will be joining ABHK for the first time. This includes exhibitors from China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Nigeria, and many more.

    Sectors such as Encounters (dedicated to large-scale works) and Kabinett (featuring thematic and focused presentations) will also be making their return this year. This marks the first Hong Kong show to feature all special sectors since 2019.

    Here are some of the galleries to look out for this year.

    STPI Gallery

    STPI Gallery at booth 1D02 presents a powerhouse line-up of artists including Rirkrit Tiravanija (Thailand/USA), Do Ho Suh (South Korea/UK), and Charles Lim Yi Yong (Singapore) among others.

    Their art takes on contemporary issues, from geopolitical power to notions of self and womanhood. All artists also have works in a collection at M+, Hong Kong’s global museum of visual culture.

    Lehmann Maupin

    The gallery returns to ABHK with a selection of new and historic works. At the center of the presentation, Lehmann Maupin introduces Tammy Nguyen’s new large-scale painting. The artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery will open on March 23 in Seoul.

    The ooth at 1C16 will also have historic works by the late Heidi Bucher and new works by Beijing-based painter Liu Wei.

    Richard Koh Fine Art

    Painters Yeoh Choo Kuan and Justin Lim as well as object maker Joshua Kane Gomes each have a distinctive style and voice. This presentation for ABHK shows a possible branching point in Malaysian contemporary art.

    David Zwirner

    At booth 1C15, David Zwirner will be presenting new works by the American artist Jordan Wolfson. These pieces feature images of iconic figures from pop and vernacular culture.

    In addition to their theme of tensions in contemporary society, the gallery will also feature another work by Wolfson which continues his celebrated installation Colored sculpture (2016).

    Retro Africa

    This year marks Retro Africa’s first participation in ABHK. The contemporary art gallery will be located at booth 3D29 with works by Nigerian visual artist Victor Ehihkamenor.
