The first White Cube gallery outside the UK, designed by the architects Maybank & Matthews, has opened in Hong Kong, in front of the free port. This is the first Western gallery of this size (550m²) to open in Hong Kong – literally, the perfumed port – a location that has become very popular with Taiwanese, Indonesian and Chinese collectors. The next big art event in this region is the increasingly successful Art HK 12 fair, beginning on 17 May, that will host galleries from all over the world, including The White Cube, which has decided to open a permanent HK showroom to be inaugurated with new work by Gilbert & George.
The White Cube will thus be joining a network of Western galleries in Hong Kong. Current exhibitions in the city include work by Hans Hartung (revenue of $4 million in 2011) at the French De Sarthe gallery; Callum INNES (auction record of $58,050 for Exposing Painting Blue Charcoal Black on 18/02/2011) at the Edouard Malingue gallery and Danien Hirst (74th in the 2011 revenue ranking) Spot Paintings at the Gagosian (soon ending). Few contemporary Western artists have been offered at auctions in China, but the determination of Western galleries to present these artists to Asian collectors augers well for some impressive results in the future.
Although the primary art market is still setting up in the so-called Dynamite City (Emmanuel Perrotin, the Chinese gallery Hanart TZ and Artprice will all have a presence there by the end of this year), Hong Kong’s status as a bastion of the secondary market is no longer in doubt. In fact the city has a frenetic pace of auction sales and the auction houses have racked up numerous impressive results there in the recent past: in 2011, the highest price was $21.84 million for a work by Chinese artist Dagian Zhang, Lotus and Mandarin Ducks. This was a record for Daqian, who was the world’s number 1 artist in 2011 with total revenue of $554.5 million. As for Hong Kong, it is now in 4th place worldwide on the secondary market, with 2011 sales revenues of $796.3 million. (By ArtPrice)
