ART SG 2023 EXHIBITORS

"The first edition of ART SG offered an opportunity to explore the landscape of Singapore and Southeast Asia, and to engage with its growing collector base. During the week, we have been pleased to meet local collectors, newcomers to the city who have recently relocated to the city, as well as collectors from around the region. Amidst a rapidly evolving art scene in Asia, this has been a useful introduction to understand its key players and build lasting new connections."
Leo XuSenior Director, David Zwirner (New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong)
“We were delighted with the first iteration of the fair in Singapore. The local art community, combined with the arrival of expatriates from mainland China, Hong Kong and other parts of Asia, made the fair particularly vibrant. We are looking forward to returning.”
Nick SimunovicSenior Director Hong Kong, Gagosian (New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Geneva, Basel, Rome, Athens, Hong Kong, Gstaad)
“The fair has really exceeded our expectations - the first night we came close to selling the entire booth, then we rehung and made good sales every day. It’s wonderful to be back in Singapore for what is shaping up to be a new and exciting chapter!”
Ursula SullivanCo-Founder, Sullivan+Strumpf (Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne)
“After having been engaged with this region for many years, it’s great to back in Singapore and participate in the inaugural ART SG – a pivotal fair for the Southeast Asia audience. It has been an excellent opportunity to re-connect with collectors and museums from across the region including Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Australia, and China among others. Sales have been strong across the duration of the fair.”
Daniela GarehGlobal Board Director, White Cube (London, Hong Kong, New York, Paris, West Palm Beach)
"There was constant buzz throughout the week, creating fabulous opportunities to connect with local and international art communities. The week was a tremendous success for the gallery with strong sales for our artists showcased in our booth. In all, an exciting launch edition of ART SG, and we look forward to sharing our artists with wider audiences from all over the world in future editions."
Can YavuzFounder, Yavuz Gallery (Singapore, Sydney)
“It's an exciting time for Singapore's art scene. At the inaugural ART SG we placed a number of works with important collections, including institutional and some new collectors we met at the fair. We were very happy to have been able to reconnect with people who we haven’t been able to see in person in the past few years, both from institutions and collectors from across the art community in Southeast Asia - particularly those based in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.”
Thaddaeus RopacFounder, Thaddaeus Ropac (London, Paris, Salzburg, Seoul)
“One of the major takeaways from the opening day of the fair is that local collectors —although young and discreet— are incredibly sophisticated and have a massive appetite for international art. This comes as no surprise, as Singapore itself has quickly become a major hub for international investors, in part because of its proximity to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia. We are thrilled to have placed artworks with important collections in Singapore and the greater Southeast Asia.”
Ken TanDirector, Lehmann Maupin (New York, Hong Kong, Seoul, London)
“We have loved coming to Singapore and saw a lot of clients from Hong Kong and China who we were happy to see here, plus we met many new potential clients. We are happy to report robust sales. The fair gave us space to have many meaningful conversations with people from Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Australia. We came to meet new collectors which we succeeded in doing and we look forward to coming back next year.”
Wendy OlsoffCo-Owner, P.P.O.W (New York)
“It’s been a surreal past few days at ART SG - to be part of a fair with this quality and scale, to witness the vibrant coming together of Southeast Asia’s exciting art scenes, and to have Singapore gain this kind of visibility on the global art stage - have been incredibly rewarding. It’s hard not to be inspired by the energy and momentum of it all. Our sales were strong since the VIP day. We feel this is the beginning of something bigger, and we’re looking forward to the possibilities these new connections will now foster.”
Jasdeep SandhuFounder, Gajah Gallery (Singapore, Jakarta, Yogyakarta)
"The debut of ART SG marks a pivotal moment for Singapore as an epicentre for modern and contemporary art in Southeast Asia. We felt it important to participate in the first edition, and to continue to strengthen our connections with the teeming community of collectors and institutions in the region. We are delighted to have placed multiple works by artists from across our program, including Zhang Enli, Tracey Emin, Sayre Gomez and Thomas Houseago in important local as well as international collections.”
Xavier HufkensOwner and Founder, Xavier Hufkens, Brussels
“As an African gallery exhibiting works in a region that's still relatively new to us, it's proved rewarding on a number of levels to show at ART SG. Beyond healthy sales of several works by William Kentridge, Misheck Masamvu, Remy Jungerman and Walter Oltmann to strong collections which are all within Southeast Asia, it has been elucidating to initiate and reignite many valued relationships with great collectors, curators, artists and fellow gallerists who have been extremely welcoming and receptive.”
Roger Tatley & Anthony DawsonSenior Director & Associate Director, Goodman Gallery (Johannesburg, Cape Town, London)
"ART SG as a new fair serves as a key meeting point for the international art world. The Richard Koh Fine Art booth welcomed collectors from all over the region who were keen to discover our outstanding roster of Southeast Asian artists, and we are glad to have placed works in top tier regional private collections."
Richard KohFounder, Richard Koh Fine Art (Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur)
“Everyone has been very interested in the market in Singapore as it is booming and vibrant. It’s been a fantastic opportunity to connect with the art world again in person. We have met our established collectors from China and Southeast Asia, as well as new audiences particularly from Korea and Japan, with whom we are excited to develop new relationships. We have made good sales for all three of our artists on the booth, and it has been wonderful to introduce the artists to new collectors.”
Lingzhi ZhuangFounder and Director, LINSEED (Shanghai)

ART SG Walkthroughs

Studio Visit: Ashley Bickerton

ART SG visited the home studio of Ashley Bickerton (1959 – 2022), who enjoyed what he described as “a long and often breathless career”, creating artworks spanning all manner of mediums and visual languages. Oscillating between dream and dystopia, beauty and the grotesque, Bickerton’s vibrant and intoxicating works cast a keen eye on humanity, culture and consumerism, and our place within the wider arc of time and history. Bickerton’s works will be presented with Gajah Gallery at ART SG in 2023.
