From an artist-curator who runs experimental spaces in Seoul to a seasoned Turkish gallerist with outposts in Istanbul and Bodrum, a wave of new exhibitors will make their debut at Art Basel Hong Kong this year. Here, a cross-sector selection of outstanding newcomers.
Double Q Gallery, Hong Kong
When traveling in Hungary on holiday, Hong Kong collector Queenie Rosita Law found herself fascinated by the region’s untapped art scene. After visiting local artists’ studios, she was so inspired that she launched Q Contemporary, a nonprofit foundation in Budapest. She later opened Double Q Gallery in Hong Kong to showcase Central and Eastern European artists in Asia. At the fair, Polish artist Natalia Załuska will transform the gallery’s booth with an immersive installation made of black-and-white painted cardboard. Made by folding and peeling fragments of card, it will feel as if a flat drawing or collage has been transformed into a three-dimensional architectural environment.
Art Basel Hong Kong runs from March 27 to 29, 2026.
