Check out the expanded 2nd edition of Singapore Contemporary

Along with the inaugural Photo17 Singapore on January 19-22, 2017.

Following on the highly successful inaugural edition in January 2016, the expanded 2nd edition of Singapore Contemporary returns on January 19 – 22 at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.

A highlight event of Singapore Art Week, the show will present a vibrant and wide-ranging collection of artworks – investment-grade art with a strong secondary market and auction following, plus works by some of the world's most interesting and promising artists. Collectors and art buyers are invited to browse and buy original paintings, limited editions, sculpture and photography, as well as large-scale installations; and to participate in an enriching program of complimentary talks, tours, painting demonstrations and special programs for children.

Show Director Douwe Cramer noted that the 2nd edition of Singapore Contemporary will be larger and more diverse than the first show in 2016, providing collectors and art enthusiasts with an even broader selection of artworks. “We expect to welcome more than 90 exhibitors from 20 countries throughout Asia and the world, up from 65 exhibitors in January 2016. It is clear that the steadily growing interest from galleries and artists from around the world in Singapore Art Week is a way to engage with the increasingly sophisticated art market in Southeast Asia,” he explained.

Cramer also announced the inaugural presentation of Photo17 Singapore: “We are excited to bring one of the largest-ever photo presentations to Singapore. Photo17 is a curated platform, with the objective of demonstrating the flexibility, refinement and creativity that can be expressed through this medium at the cutting edge of contemporary art. Innovation and the use of new technologies are driving a growing interest in photography – in particular amongst younger art collectors.”
