Shanghai’s Art Fair Mosaic: Where New Voices Meet Global Giants
In the heart of Shanghai’s bustling Jing’an district, ART021 has transformed from a modest gathering into a global crossroads for contemporary art. This year, the fair welcomes 150 exhibitors from 16 countries, with over 100 hailing from China’s diverse cities—a testament to its mission of blending local flavor with international flair.
The return of international galleries and collectors, absent since 2019, injects fresh momentum into the city’s art scene. Alongside established names like Gagosian and White Cube, emerging talents and younger collectors are making their mark, signaling a generational shift in taste and influence.
Booths brim with works ranging from blue-chip icons to experimental newcomers, reflecting Shanghai’s role as both a stage for global heavyweights and a launchpad for rising stars. The city’s November art calendar, packed with concurrent fairs and biennales, amplifies this creative surge.
As ART021 evolves, it mirrors Shanghai itself: dynamic, layered, and always ready to surprise.
