  If you haven't already been, there's still time, the HK Art fair opened this week and the last day is Sunday. I've been to many art fairs around the world and I can honestly say the HK one i really not bad at all. A very mature show of international standard. Really helps to put HK on the art world map.
  I strongly recommend you go take a look around, it's not often we get such an amazing bunch of art to look at from over 100 galleries around the world. It's at the new Convention centre in Wanchai, get over there while you still have a chance.
  
  Here's a few shots to give you and idea.
  
  lots of Warhol around...

  the star of the show, a Francis Bacon worth millions
  
  
  
  Thomas Ruff and a Damien Hirst in the background

  This is the after fair dinner which was hosted by Louis Vuitton at my exhibition space in Chai  Wan. Was a lovely dinner and people really seemed to like the paintings.  Sold all the work!
