Fine Art Asia 2011 is Asia’s leading annual fine art and antiques fair. Over seventy prominent local and international dealers from Asia, Europe and the USA will be represented in this event from 3-7 October at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. On display will be Asian and Western art, antiques, fine jewellery, Modern and Contemporary art. Fine Art Asia 2011 (www.fineartasia.com) will be held during the peak art and auction season of October in Hong Kong.

The Society is delighted that Robin Markbreiter, Director and Executive Editor at "Arts of Asia" (www.artsofasia.com), the foremost international Asian arts and antiques magazine, has kindly agreed to lead our members through this fair. A native Cantonese speaker and a collector of Chinese, Japanese and Southeast Asian art, Robin Markbreiter will bring to our attention a selection of highlights on display and introduce members to prominent gallery owners and exhibitors. This is a unique opportunity to become informed about the most desirable and finest quality objects at the show.
