ShContemporary returns for the third year to the spectacular Shanghai Exhibition Center to create an intriguing dialogue between the Orient and Occident art scenes. 140 world class galleries representing over 29 countries met in the 2008 edition of THE Asia Pacific Art Fair. Over 25.000 visitors strolled with enthusiasm into the main sections of the fair: Best of Galleries, Best of Discovery and the newborn area of the Outdoor Projects. ShContemporary is the only international art show that provides a comprehensive, top quality overview of the artistic scene in Asia and creates a cultural cross over with the works of Western artists. Through the cooperation with well-renown curators from the Asia Pacific region, ShContemporary guarantees an in depth research and strong artistic content of newly discovered talent never presented in an art fair.
