City Gallery is an exhibition centre about the planning and development of Hong Kong. It is located at Edinburgh Place in Central - and I only stumbled upon it by sheer luck. We went to see a photography exhibition at the City Hall and that's when we noticed the City Gallery next door. It is… Continue reading City Gallery Museum
Water lilies in Sha Tin? Sounds unlikely - well, not really. They are in Sha Tin, albeit only for a short amount of time, until July 11, 2016. The current temporary exhibition Claude Monet: The Spirit of Place is a highlight of this year's exhibitions in Hong Kong. Where else can you view 17 original… Continue reading Art exhibition 2016: Claude Monet
The Hong Kong Museum of Art used to be one of my 'hangout' places, at least on grey and rainy days. It was always easy to get to, just a hop away on the star ferry.

It features artists and galleries from around the globe… Continue reading Visit to the Affordable Art Fair 2015

In January 2014, the artist launched the third wave of his “invasion” in Hong Kong, 13 years after he first hit the city. Most of the works… Continue reading Art exhibition: Invader at PMQ
I was contemplating whether or not to write this post - there are so many Art Basel in Hong Kong articles out there, but then I thought everyone has different views and opinions. My take is that it is a great opportunity to see so many great masters of the 20th and 21st century in… Continue reading My highlights from Art Basel in Hong Kong 2015
I went to Art Basel yesterday - and it was packed with people, galleries and artwork. Compared to Art Central, Art Basel included many more well-known artists and artworks from the greatest artists of the 20th and 21st century, such as Marc Chagall, Miro, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, Fernando Botero and many more.… Continue reading Pictures of pictures at Art Basel in Hong Kong 2015
