“Fine Art Asia is recognised by the international art world as the most important and influential annual fine art fair in the region. The fair is known worldwide as a Hong Kong-originated art enterprise, providing a unique and unrivalled platform for art and antiques in Asia.

Celebrating its 10th edition, Fine Art Asia 2014 will host 100 of the world’s most renowned galleries. They will display the finest antiques including ancient Chinese and Himalayan bronzes, ceramics and works of art, Chinese and European antique furniture and decorative arts, Chinese textiles and jades; international fine art jewellery and antique silver; Impressionist, modern and contemporary art and design from both Asia and the West.

Fine Art Asia is staged at the peak of the important art season in Hong Kong and coincides with Sotheby’s auctions in the same venue, attracting a sophisticated, appreciative audience of major dealers, collectors, curators, connoisseurs and art enthusiasts from throughout Asia as well as from all over the world.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fine Art Asia 2014 in October!”
