Art Basel Hong Kong has commenced its 2024 iteration at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, returning in full scale and flair for the first time post-pandemic with over 200 exhibitors from across the globe.

A large majority of pieces shown in Encounters this year have been newly created by artists in conversation with Glass-Kantor and their respective galleries. ‘It’s so important for Art Basel Hong Kong to premiere work by artists from the region… Our artists are risk takers,’ Glass-Kantor continued.
