A prize for out-of-the-box thinking

Hong Kong had nine artists on the shortlist, which makes it the most represented city at the Art Prize this year. What's more, nearly two-thirds of the shortlistees were women, a first in the Art Prize's history.

SAF's co-founder and director Tiffany Pinkstone sounds pleased with the Art Prize's growth over the past 20 years. "There are now so many more artists, so many more galleries supporting Hong Kong artists and a good collectors' base collecting those artists."
