asian collectors and dealers art basel

Asian collectors and dealers are increasingly choosing to skip Art Basel's flagship Swiss edition in favor of Art Basel Paris, citing the French capital's more appealing experience. Amid a market contraction, figures like Monique Leong are skipping Basel for the second year, while others such as Kankuro Ueshima, Rosy Wu, and Kazunari Shirai still attend. Notable appearances include K-pop star RM of BTS, who made his first public appearance after military service as Samsung Art TV's global ambassador. The fair saw Asian languages spoken widely, and young first-time collectors brought private guides to maximize their visit.
