Art Shanghai 2012 Introduces a Breakthrough in Exhibition Conception

Art Shanghai 2012 will take place from May 10-14 and it will be celebrating its 10th anniversary introducing a breakthrough in the established and traditional exhibition conception. For such commemorative occasion and with a fresh new gesture, the fair will present a platform rich in content and novelty.

China has become the number one largest art market in the world, challenging the United States and Britain for prominence with a distinctive rising collector class.

"Research shows that Chinese collectors who once invested in traditional works of art, are now rapidly embracing the contemporary art market with a younger generation of affluent consumers driving record sales in this fast and developing area of the world," said Aldo Castillo, Associate Director of the new edition of The Latin American Pavilion & The International Wing 2012.

Castillo, who comes fresh of working as an Associate Director for the American Pavilion Shanghai Art Fair 2011, says that Shanghai has recently emerged as a critical cultural platform attracting worldwide attention for its interest in international art trends. "Since its establishment in 2003, ART Shanghai has been successfully held for nine consecutive years gaining reputation for exhibiting high quality of works and providing excellent professional service to exhibitors," said Castillo.

Once again Art Shanghai will host the presence of the Latin-American Pavilion & The International Wing, a space devoted to promoting the highest quality of Latin-American and Western art, exhibiting the work of a variety of influential artists ranging from masters to talented emerging artists alike. The Latin-American Pavilion & The International Wing is organized since 2007 by Bandi-Trazos, a company with an established 8 year experience in the Asian market.

Art Shanghai 2012 will be held in Hongqiao New Town Central Park based on its advantage of location in the Hongqiao Development Zone and its ecological natural environment. Located in the triangle encircled by Yan'an Rd., Hongqiao Rd. and Yili Rd., this is also the first time for achieving the conception of outdoor exhibition in Asia. The New Town Central Park covers an area of 130,000 square meters and borders on professional art institutes such as Shanghai Oil Painting & Sculpture Institute and Liu Haisu Art Gallery with a large number of elite visitors from numerous top office buildings and most populated elite communities and villas in the downtown area of Shanghai.
