The Art Business Conference Launches First Asia Edition in Shanghai, November 9th 2018

The Art Business Conference (ABC) and YT Media (YT) announce an exclusive partnership to co-host The Art Business Conference Asia edition in Shanghai on November 9th, 2018, during the Shanghai art fair week.

IN A RECENT LRFA BLOG POST, WE ASKED LOUISE HAMLIN, FOUNDER AND ORGANIZER OF THE ART BUSINESS CONFERENCE IN LONDON AND NEW YORK WHAT HER AMBITIONS WERE FOR THE FUTURE, AND SHE STATED HOLDING A CONFERENCE IN ASIA. KNOWING HER, IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT SHE HAS MADE HER GOAL COME TRUE, AND VERY QUICKLY, AND THE FIRST ASIA EDITION OF THE ART BUSINESS CONFERENCE WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE MARVELOUS CITY OF SHANGHAI ON NOVEMBER 9th, 2018.  CONGRATULATIONS, LOUISE!

INTRODUCING KEYNOTE SPEAKER

FRANCESCO BONAMI

 As a leading global curator, and former director of the Venice Biennale and Whitney Biennial, Francesco recently commented that the biennial model is “stale if not dead”.  Francesco will offer his perspective on the global art world and what and how technologies might impact the way we look and collect art in the future. He will discuss the mutation of what he calls “the Biennial’s disease into the art fair epidemy” and how these two phenomenon create the gallery crisis and the mega dealer syndrome.

The Art Business Conference was launched in London in 2014 and in New York in 2017 and has established itself as the leading international art market conference for senior art market professionals. The one-day conference provides an international platform and network with in-depth discussions of the dynamics of buying and selling art, plus the latest industry trends, technologies, legislation and best practice in the art market. So far in 2018, the conferences have welcomed over 350 organisations and 650 paying delegates. Both the New York and London conferences have been chaired by the internationally acclaimed art market journalist and writer, Georgina Adam, and each conference has welcomed top level speakers from museums, auction houses, art galleries, dealers, government regulators, collectors, and business professionals internationally.

YT Media is a leading digital art media devoted to creativity, innovation and origination. Founded by a veteran art journalist XU Ning in 2014 in Beijing, YT Media has been witnessing the tremendous growth of the art market in mainland China by reporting art market news both from China and internationally.
