ART SHANGHAI 2010

ART SHANGHAI, one of the most important and most prestigious international events taking place in Shanghai every year, will be held from May 12Th to May 16Th 2010 at the Shanghai Mart. Much like in previous editions, Art Shanghai offers a distinct art venue to the domestic and international collectors of the region. From its beginning in 2003, the trend in ART SHANGHAI has been to bring a more international and wider spectrum of art to the fair, having had a total of over 700 art institutions participating, with more than 150 thousand visitors and sales of over 150 million Yuan's, in a total area over 8,000 square meters.

Purposely located in the centre of the Chinese international business district, side by side to its unique historical and geographical landmarks, the city of Shanghai is also quickly becoming a cultural platform, attracting worldwide attention by not only offering a superior international fair but by also breeding a relatively mature domestic and Asian art market. Concurrently, Shanghai World Expo 2010, from May 1st to 31st of October, is yet a further focus of interest, attracting 200 nations and hundreds of international organizations to take part in it, as well as 70 million visitors from home and abroad

Once again ART SHANGHAI will host the presence of a Pavilion devoted to Latin-American Art called, The Latin-American Pavilion (LAP). A pioneer of its kind in Asia and a referring cornerstone of Latin-American culture in artistic Asian circles, the LAP houses galleries which specialize in Latin-American Art with various origins in Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America, all of which today exhibit through it the works of renowned artists from the continent.

This year the LAP presents a Contemporary Art Section curated by the renowned art critic Milagros Bello, a space devoted to the most influential voices in Latin-American Art from masters, to contemporaries of the Latin- American Art world, giving the event an added prestige to further consolidate its brand in the competitive Chinese Art market. The works to be included will cover everything from paintings, sculptures, digital photography to video art and installations. In addition, a New Media Lounge with videos of the most recognized Latin-American Artists will also be offered

The LAP, hosting collectors, art agencies, critics, artists, government officials and celebrities from China and abroad in ART SHANGHAI 2010, is in a privileged position to invite you to form part of bringing the best of what Latin-America has to offer to the Chinese art consumer households in the world's largest market.
