MR: We were able to hold the fair at the same time with Roppongi Art Night and G-tokyo so that visitors can enjoy all those special events held in Tokyo. It would be great if it became easier for people abroad as well to visit.

The third edition of Art Stage Singapore concluded successfully, with the fair recording significant sales and a marked increase in visitor numbers.
“Art Stage Singapore has made a great start to 2013,” said Lorenzo Rudolf, Fair Director. “Last year was a challenging year for many art fairs, galleries and artists, and we had to work hard to improve on many aspects of the fair. I’m pleased to see that our efforts have been rewarded.” Over the five fair days we welcomed 40 500 visitors, many of which were first-time fairgoers including artists, collectors, curators and members of the media. Galleries reported good sales, and meaningful meetings with many new local, regional and international buyers and institutions. “Our key focus on Southeast Asia is absolutely right – we have created an internationally competitive platform to promote emerging and established artists from the region.”
