The art world will have its eyes firmly on the city with three major art festivals teaming up to present Shanghai Art Week. Running from September 9-14, we break down what you can't miss starting with the second edition of Photo Shanghai.
Dubbed Asia’s premier art fair dedicated to photography, this massive showcase will feature 50 galleries from around the globe. Over 500 works of art will be on sale by artists that are legends (Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nobuyoshi Araki, Guy Bourdin), current stars (Vik Muniz, Steven Klein) and are among China’s best (Birdhead, Yang Yongliang). Programme highlights include the Asian premiere of Taryn Simon’s Birds of the West Indies (pictured above), a cutting edge video installation curated by one of China’s foremost video artists Professor Zhang Peili, a Swarovski Waterschool show featuring exclusive images by Oscar nominated filmmaker Eric Valli shown outside at Jing’An Park and a Talks Programme featuring artists and relevant experts.
