It was the event on everyone's lips in the new year. After four cancellations due to Covid and organisational issues, the inaugural Art SG by leading art fair organiser The Art Assembly met with an impressive 42,000-strong turnout, which included local and international collectors as well as leading art museums and institutions.

Staged across two floors of Sands Expo and Convention Centre from Jan 12 to 15, the fair presented more than 160 galleries from 35 countries. Industry heavyweights such as David Zwirner, White Cube, Pace Gallery and Thaddeus Ropac were among the stellar list of exhibitors, alongside local establishments like STPI, Cuturi Gallery and Yeo Workshop.
