\n\tHong Kong<\/a>\u2019s gallery scene is in flux: first Pace<\/a> announced last week that it will close its H Queen\u2019s location by the end of October; now another blue-chip is on the move. Emmanuel Perrotin<\/a> said this week that his eponymous gallery is relocating from K11 Atelier Victoria Dockside back to Central, Hong Kong\u2019s business district, where he first set up shop in Asia in 2012. The gallery vacated Dockside on October 1 after six years there.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe see it as the optimal time to move back to Central,\u201d a gallery spokesperson told ARTnews. \u201cWe believe this new location will better serve our community, enhance accessibility, and reduce our operational costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe gallery has not yet announced the opening date of its new space but said it is \u201cworking carefully and strategically to seize the best opportunity to launch the gallery as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPerrotin was one of the first Western galleries to open a permanent space in Hong Kong\u2014the city remains critical for our Asian network,\u201d the gallery added. \u201cDuring this transition, Perrotin Hong Kong will remain fully operational and focused on our upcoming art fairs and museum exhibitions in the region for our artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHong Kong is not the only major art hub undergoing change. New York and London have both seen a string of high-profile closures this year, including Blum Gallery, Venus Over Manhattan, and Marlborough Gallery. Earlier this month, Almine Rech announced<\/a> that it would close its Mayfair location in London.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe global art market continues to struggle to climb out of a slowdown that began two years ago. Last year, global art sales dropped by 12 percent, according to the most recent Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report. In Hong Kong, art transactions hit an eight-year low this fall, and dealers are feeling the pinch as collectors from mainland China tighten their purse strings. L\u00e9vy Gorvy Dayan also shuttered its Hong Kong gallery last year, citing \u201cshifts in client behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA Pace spokesperson earlier told<\/a> ARTnews\u2019s Daniel Cassady that its H Queen\u2019s location was \u201cno longer servicing us, and since our lease is expiring, like many other galleries, we are taking the opportunity to exit.\u201d The closure does not mark a full retreat from the city, the gallery said, as it will maintain its Hong Kong and Beijing offices and remains open to considering new spaces if the right opportunity arises.<\/p>\n

\n\tPace first launched in Hong Kong in 2014 with a gallery in the Pedder Building before relocating to H Queen\u2019s, a 26-story tower that was initially billed as a hub for blue-chip dealers including David Zwirner<\/a> and Tang Contemporary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hong Kong\u2019s gallery scene is in flux: first Pace announced last week that it will close its H…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122838,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[365,362,363,364,31720,366,18,117,4202,19,17,14624,11741],"class_list":{"0":"post-122837","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-david-zwirner","13":"tag-design","14":"tag-eire","15":"tag-entertainment","16":"tag-hong-kong","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-pace","20":"tag-perrotin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
