出席香港-巴塞尔艺博会的全球顶级画廊,携带着各自代理的艺术家的作品小心翼翼地来到亚洲。就像一个刚刚进入亚洲的奢侈品牌,它们只带来了那些亚洲人看着最眼熟的艺术品而非其品牌中最精彩的部分。因为亚洲藏家,尤其是中国内地藏家的西方当代艺术知识尚比较欠缺,藏家们连生僻点的人名都认不出来,对于其艺术品的理解更是无从谈起。 The world’s top galleries attending the Hong Kong-Basel Art Fair have carefully come to Asia with the works of their respective artists. Like a luxury brand that has just entered Asia, they bring only those Asians looking at the most familiar artwork, not the most exciting part of their brand. Because Western collectors in Asia, especially those from the Mainland, lack of knowledge of contemporary Western art, collectors can not even recognize the names of strangers and can not even understand their artworks.
