Hong Kong gallery De Sarthe has announced it will relocate to a larger 10,000-square-foot space in the Wong Chuk Hang neighborhood, opening September 20th in Vita Tower within the city’s Southside art district. The new gallery will feature separate exhibition areas for contemporary art and 20th-century masterworks, marking a major expansion as the gallery celebrates its 15th anniversary in Hong Kong. Founder Pascal de Sarthe emphasized the continued importance of physical gallery spaces for meaningful dialogue between artists and audiences, even in a digital age.
The move underscores the growing vitality of Hong Kong’s Southside art district as a hub for galleries, with De Sarthe’s expansion reflecting confidence in the region’s art market. By creating parallel spaces for contemporary and historical works, the gallery aims to offer viewers broader contextual perspectives, while its advisory business remains active in international Modern and post-war markets. This development signals ongoing investment in physical exhibition spaces despite the rise of digital art experiences.
