Annual art fair draws foreign galleries

THE 2015 Shanghai Art Fair took place November 12-15 at Shanghai Mart in the Hongqiao area, Changning District.

This year, 150 galleries participated in the fair. About half of these came from abroad. The event was a key element in the Shanghai International Arts Festival.

There were 15 South Korean galleries at the fair, the most of any country other than China. Organizers from the Busan Art Fair attended for the first time, bringing 11 paintings by five South Korean artists.

Founded in 1997, the Shanghai Art Fair is the largest trade fair of its kind in Asia.

Last year, the event attracted more than 50,000 visitors in four days, and sales reached 140 million yuan (US$21.87 million). This year, sales topped 141 million yuan.
