Old ink, new tricks: Hong Kong reboots a classical medium
NICHOLAS STEPHENS
HONG KONG -- In this fast-paced international city, cosmopolitan urbanites might be expected to focus on the latest artists from London or New York, leaving classical paintings to gather dust.
The city is Asia's contemporary art hub, home to the regional headquarters of the international auction houses Sotheby's, Phillips and Christie's, the major contemporary art museum M+ and more than 60 commercial galleries. Asia's largest art fair, Art Basel Hong Kong, took place in March.
