Veteran art critic John Batten takes a fresh look at Art Basel Hong Kong, cutting through the usual headlines about record auction prices and celebrity artists. He explores the wider Hong Kong art scene—from the city’s evolving art market history and the rise of regional art fairs to how global trends are reshaping the market. Batten also shares insider tips on where to look beyond the Basel spotlight, including  Tsuen Wan, Wong Chuk Hang, and Hong Kong’s growing network of public art spaces. Plus, practical advice for navigating art fairs like a pro—what to wear, how to connect, and where to explore.
