Art Basel rolls into town again today and will take place over five days at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Art Basel Live will take place alongside the physical fair, an online digital initiative, including virtual tours, walkthroughs, and live streaming of events.
Marc Spiegler, Global Director, Art Basel, said: ‘As we prepare to stage our first physical fair since 2019, we are excited to launch a parallel digital program that brings the excitement and vibrancy of the in-person show to audiences worldwide. Art Basel Live is an important step forward building on our Online Viewing Rooms, which we launched in early 2020, adding a rich digital layer to the physical experience of exhibiting and viewing art from across the globe. We look forward to the creative opportunities this new model will present for us and our galleries.’
