Thanks to an unprecedented boom in China’s art market and a growing demand for Western art, several influential international galleries have opened permanent exhibition spaces in Hong Kong this week, timed to coincide with this year’s ART HK 12 fair. Parisian dealer Emmanuel Perrotin has opened his vast seventeenth floor Galerie Perrotin with an exhibition of work by American neo-pop artist KAWS, titled ’The Nature of the Need’.

The 50 individual canvases that make up ’The Nature is the Need’ series can be hung on their own or together. In the gallery, they stretch across the striking exhibition space, designed Andre Fu, which makes full use of the harbour views and natural light
