Some of the leading international galleries including Gagosian, White Cube and Thaddaeus Ropac will make their return to the second edition of Art SG, held from January 19 to 21 (with a VIP preview on January 18) at Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Marina Bay Sands. Joining them at Southeast Asia’s leading international art fair are regional stalwarts such as STPI – Creative Workshop & Gallery, Richard Koh Fine Art and Fost Gallery, along with 38 new exhibitors.
Organised by The Art Assembly, the fair is presented by founding and lead partner UBS and will feature three main sectors: Galleries, Focus and Futures. The largest Galleries sector will showcase outstanding presentations by 69 leading regional and international galleries, while Focus, which highlights solo or duo artist programmes, will host curated thematic presentations from 36 galleries. Futures, meanwhile, will exhibit specially created presentations from 11 galleries under the age of 10.
“As Singapore emerges as a crucial player in the international art ecosystem, the 2024 edition will reaffirm the defining features of Art SG: an exceptional and uncompromising concentration of high‑quality presentations; a vital convening point as Southeast Asia’s leading fair for galleries, collectors and institutions from around the world; and a commitment to advancing new opportunities for our gallery community,” says Art SG co‑founder Magnus Renfrew.
We look at some of the key highlights among the presentations by both returning and new galleries at the fair as well as the artists we have our eye on.
