New galleries to debut at show in Hong Kong

This year's Art Basel Hong Kong will embrace new galleries in the region and art collectors with its newly appointed director for Asia, Adeline Ooi, leading 231 galleries across the globe.

Thirty-three of the galleries are from China, and some are from second-tier cities taking part in an international art fair for the first time, according to Marc Spiegler, Art Basel's global director.

Art Basel Hong Kong will be held in March.
