This year, we collaborated with Kiaf SEOUL and Art Jakarta to launch The Collector Circle and share resources across our VIP networks, reaffirming the fair's role as a dynamic platform connecting regional markets and strengthening the local art scene. We were excited to see strong sales across our exhibition zones, including the placement of works by many indigenous artists, resonating with this year’s theme of “Intersect: Diversity Equals Togetherness”, as well as from our MIT (Made in Taiwan) program. The second edition of Taipei Art Week was also successfully presented alongside the fair, dedicated to nurturing our local art community and showcasing the depth and diversity of Asian art throughout the city."

On the first day of the fair, we successfully sold 60% of the works showcased at our booth. In addition to local Taiwanese collectors, we also welcomed new collectors from the U.K., Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and Korea. Among the artists we exhibited, works by Li Chen and Ju Ming received tremendous attention. Li Chen’s three-meter-tall monumental sculpture “Soothing Breezes Floating Clouds” stood out as a centerpiece of the entire fair.”
