Art fair displays masterpieces
( 2003-10-27 09:16) (China Daily)
An unprecedented number of world art masterpieces is appearing in the
Shanghai Art Fair which starts tomorrow in Shanghai Mart.
This is the seventh session of the Shanghai Art Fair, which remains the
largest such event in Asia. Lasting until November 2, the art fair has attracted
over 200 galleries and art agencies from seven countries including China. Some
major international galleries are taking part in the Shanghai Art Fair for the
first time.
Emmanuel Javogue Fine Arts LLC from the United States will present a
systematic show of modern western art, from Impressionist masters like Renoir to
the Symbolism of Gauguin, the Cubism of Picasso, and the Surrealism of
Giacometti.
"We may not sell a single piece here, but it is important to present our
image," said Emmanuel Javogue.
Charges levied on foreign participants are now largely similar to those made
on domestic galleries, honouring a pledge made by the central government on
China's entry to the World Trade Organization.
