ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair上海甘一当代艺术博览会
Art021 has become a central event for Shanghai, celebrated not just by the local art community but also by the international audience it attracts. Despite challenges caused by the pandemic, economic fluctuations, and global politics, the fair and the Shanghai art market seem to continue to flourish, now hosting more galleries, private institutions, and collectors than could have been imagined at its outset.
Art021 also coincides with other key art events in Shanghai, including the West Bund Art & Design fair and the 14th Shanghai Biennale, creating a vibrant cultural ecosystem. The increasing participation of younger collectors highlights a shifting demographic trend, emphasizing a growing interest and appreciation for contemporary art. This robust engagement from both local and international galleries, including newcomers and established names making their return since the pandemic, speaks to Art021's critical role in fostering connections within the global art community.
