Speaking at the opening, Magnus Renfrew, Fair Director said, “We are delighted once again to welcome such a high calibre of art from around the world to ART HK 12. It’s extremely exciting to see the Fair progress with the support of Deutsche Bank and it’s hugely promising that in its fifth year it continues to attract new participating galleries. Asia is now clearly center stage”.

Friedhelm Hütte, Global Head of Art, Corporate Citizenship for Deutsche Bank commented, “The arts are a key cornerstone of Deutsche Bank’s social responsibility program. We look forward to seeing the very best in both Eastern and Western contemporary art come together at this year’s ART HK, and building on our ongoing partnership with Asia’s leading art fair”.Over the next four days, the 2012 Fair is the platform for cutting-edge contemporary art, privileged networking, panel discussions and a string of glamorous parties running across the city as Hong Kong goes ‘art crazy’.
