New Frontiers

A preview of Art Taipei 2017

In its 24th annual edition, Asia’s longest-running art fair, Art Taipei, will run from 20 to 23 October at the Taipei World Trade Centre. Featuring a diverse set of 120 galleries from 15 different countries including Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Japan and Korea, the exhibition will showcase nearly 3,000 pieces from emerging and established artists.

In accordance with this year’s theme, ‘Asian Vision’, Art Taipei 2017 will put the spotlight on new contemporary styles from Asia, maintaining its commitment to promoting diversity in the Asian art scene and connecting art markets between countries in Asia. As with past editions, the fair will be divided into four sections: Galleries, the main exhibition area; Public, which will showcase large-scale public art; Future, which will focus on young and emerging talents; and Frontier, which will feature new, unconventional art trends that diverge from tradition.
