JINGART ADDS NEW DIMENSIONS

The inaugural fair showcasing high-end works from local and international galleries proves an instant hit with the capital's art lovers. Lin Qi Reports.

Faced with a local audience who is used to large expositions held at expansive venues, the inaugural Jingart art fair instead offered up a small and delicate art fair, in the hope that its diverse style and international vision would help enrich the capital's art scene and cultivate the next generation of collectors.

The high-end fair, which ran from Thursday to Sunday, took place at Beijing Quanyechang, a three-story former department store constructed in the early 1900s in the capital's historic Qianmen commercial area.
