The fair opens to VIPs, where conduct private hologram viewing sessions on site, with people such as Emi Eu from the non-profit Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI).

Due to the corona-virus pandemic, Hong Kong’s exhibitions industry has been devastated as visitors from China and overseas have not been able to enter since spring 2020 unless they have a work permit and are willing to put up with strict quarantine requirements.

Art Basel Hong Kong is held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from May 19 – 23.
