Spread over 1,887 sq m, this year’s event is slightly bigger than 2022’s 1,750 sq m and 80 galleries. Mr Koh, 40, says: “36 per cent of our galleries are local and 64 per cent are international. I would say about 80 per cent are from Asia and 20 per cent are from the rest of the world.”Since the art fair began in Singapore 13 years ago, six galleries – Gnani Arts, Astrid Dahl, Bruno Art Gallery, Quantum Contemporary, REDSEA Gallery and Utterly Art – have been participating in every edition, save for 2020 and 2021 when the fair was cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Mr Koh says: “People have the misconception that art is very expensive, but real prices of $2,000 is something we can afford. The fair breaks the barrier of asking questions.”
