Spotlight on HK at Europe's top art fair

Masterpiece London, a leading art fair in Europe, will host a dedicated Hong Kong Pavilion to showcase about 30 works from Chinese artists for the first time this year.

The Hong Kong Pavilion is sponsored by Fine Art Asia, an art fair based in Hong Kong. Works to be exhibited are mainly contemporary pieces by Chinese artists that contain Chinese historical and cultural influences, including painting, jewelry and decorative objects.

"Having a Hong Kong pavilion at Masterpiece London is going to make a strong statement, because Hong Kong is one of the biggest art hubs in the world," says Nazy Vassegh, chief executive of Masterpiece London.
