Galleries from 40 countries are showcasing their works at this year’s Art Basel fair in Switzerland, one of the world’s most prestigious art exhibitions. Among them, Chinese galleries are making a significant impact, presenting contemporary works, sculptures, and photography that highlight the dynamism and creativity of China’s art scene.
Some of China’s best-known artists are represented, bringing their unique perspectives and cultural narratives to the global stage. Their participation not only showcases the richness of Chinese contemporary art but also fosters cultural exchange between China and the international art community.
CGTN correspondent Julia Lyubova spoke with representatives from the Chinese galleries in Basel, who expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to engage with a wider audience and to share their artists’ works with collectors, critics, and art enthusiasts from around the world.
Art Basel serves as a crucial platform for galleries and artists to gain international exposure. The strong presence of Chinese galleries at the fair reflects the growing influence of Asia’s art markets and the increasing interest in Asian art among global collectors.
With the participation of galleries from across the Chinese mainland, the event highlights the diversity and innovation of contemporary Chinese art. The works on display range from avant-garde installations to thought-provoking photographs, offering visitors a glimpse into the evolving artistic landscape of China.
The engagement of Chinese galleries at Art Basel underscores China’s expanding role in the global art scene and contributes to the cultural dialogue between East and West.
