The outbreak and spread of the coronavirus has forced art fairs and auctions to postpone and cancel in light of the increasing seriousness of the situation.
The Art Basel Hong Kong contemporary art fair, scheduled for March 19-21, has been cancelled. In reaction to this, auction house Christie’s has moved its 20th Century and Contemporary Art evening sale and the wine sale in Hong Kong from March to May, to coincide with its spring sales series at the Hong Kong Convention Centre.
