Meet 8 breakout galleries debuting at Art Basel Hong Kong
Emerging Asian spaces and Western galleries expanding eastward are enriching the fair’s landscape
Uffner & Liu, New York
Originally founded by Rachel Uffner on New York’s Lower East Side in 2008, the gallery rebranded last year when Uffner partnered with Chinese-born, Canadian-raised director Lucy Liu (not to be confused with the actress) to expand its international reach. Their Hong Kong debut explores representations of the body through the works of nine artists. Highlights include sculptural wall reliefs by Iranian artist Arghavan Khosravi, which draw inspiration from Persian miniatures and Western Surrealism. Fragmenting the female form and enclosing it in unusual architectural spaces, Khosravi interrogates notions of womanhood and agency in Iran.
