Deutsche Bank signs as lead sponsor of Art Hong Kong (ART HK) Deutsche Bank and ART HK have today announced that Deutsche Bank has signed an agreement to be the lead sponsor of ART HK, for an initial period of up to five years. ART HK is Hong Kong's largest and most important annual international art fair. Michael West, Deutsche Bank's Head of Communications for Asia Pacific said: "Our sponsorship of ART HK is a reflection of both the scale and growth of Deutsche Bank in the Asia Pacific region and our longstanding global commitment to the arts. The success of ART HK in 2008 and 2009 demonstrates the high level of demand for a world-class art fair in the region".
Magnus Renfrew, Fair Director, ART HK, echoed Michael West's sentiments: "Deutsche Bank's involvement is a ringing endorsement of the solid foundations that we have laid in Asia to date. Our shared vision and active partnership will bring us one step closer to further affirming ART HK's position as one of the leading art fairs".
Back for its third year, ART HK 10 will be held from the 27th-30th May, 2010 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), coinciding with the major art auctions in the city.
In 2009, ART HK hosted 110 galleries from twenty-four countries, and received 27,856 visitors over the course of four and a half days, an increase of 31% on the inaugural Fair held in 2008. Exhibitors at ART HK 09 reported steady sales, with several million US dollar transactions taking place, as well as many more affordable works being purchased by first time collectors.
Deutsche Bank's sponsorship of ART HK extends its global commitment of promoting cultural vibrancy in the markets in which they conduct business.
