Art Basel Hong Kong has announced its 2025 edition will feature 242 galleries from 42 countries, the same number of exhibitors as last year. The event is scheduled for March 28–30, 2025, with preview days on March 26th and 27th, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. More than half of the participating galleries originate from the Asia Pacific region, including leading galleries such as Pearl Lam Galleries and Hakgojae Gallery.
As in 2024, the 2025 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong will be organized into three sections. The 196 participants in the main Galleries sector include several blue-chip names such as Lehmann Maupin and Hauser & Wirth. Across all three sections, 23 galleries will be participating for the first time, eight of which will present in the Galleries section. Among them are blank projects, Aeneas Bastian Fine Art, and Nicelle Beauchene Gallery.
The Discoveries sector will host 22 exhibitors, including Asia Art Center and Jhaveri Contemporary. More than half of these names are emerging galleries established within the last decade. This sector is dedicated to fostering the visibility of up-and-coming talent in the art world. Insights, another sector, will present 24 curated projects from galleries, such as Tokyo’s Yutaka Kikutake Gallery and London’s Flowers, focused on Asia and the Asia Pacific region, emphasizing photography from the 1970s to the present.
“The impressive line-up of galleries participating in our 2025 Hong Kong edition reinforces the fair’s position as a cultural crossroads and vital anchor in Asia’s ever-growing art scenes,” Angelle Siyang-Le, director of Art Basel Hong Kong, said. “We’re committed to continuing to strengthen our ties with the local art scene and its rising stars.”
This edition will also introduce the MGM Discoveries Art Prize, supporting emerging artists with a $50,000 cash prize shared between the artist and their presenting gallery, plus an opportunity to exhibit in Macau. Art Basel has also co-commissioned a project with Hong Kong Museum M+, presented by UBS: Ho Tzu Nyen’s Night Charades (2024), which will reimagine famous Hong Kong film scenes in animation, will be projected on the museum’s facade during the fair.
