Contrary to popular belief, galleries bring artworks at widely varied price points to Art Basel fairs. The upcoming Hong Kong edition is no exception. In the show’s Discoveries sector, for instance, visitors will find many presentations by emerging artists at prices suited to all kinds of budgets. And in curated sectors like Insights and Kabinett – focusing on recent pieces from Asian contemporary artists and thematic presentations respectively – galleries also often have a wide range of works on offer. This is no less true in the main sector. ‘While many perceive Art Basel fairs as exclusive, we are proud to showcase a wide range of works across various price points, from under USD 10,000 to USD 100,000 and beyond,’ says Angelle Siyang-Le, Director, Art Basel Hong Kong. ‘This diversity reflects our commitment to nurturing the local art ecosystem and fostering a vibrant cultural landscape in Hong Kong, where both seasoned collectors and newcomers can engage with high-quality art.’

Read on for a comprehensive guide to some of the noteworthy works coming to this year’s Art Basel Hong Kong at prices ranging from less than USD 15,000 to under USD 100,000.

Under USD 15,000

Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings, Woman and child; reconstruction, 2024
Arcadia Missa (London), Discoveries sector

Woman and child; reconstruction is one of seven new egg tempera paintings by the British duo that will be presented by Arcadia Missa (London) in the Discoveries sector. For a recent exhibition at the gallery and a new permanent commission at St. James’s Park Underground station in London, the pair explored Walter Benjamin’s idea of the ‘angel of history,’ and this work continues that research. ‘The labor and detail required for these paintings is huge – the process involves building up tone in hundreds of nearly transparent glazes with a small brush, resulting in jewel-like colors and an incredible depth and subtlety,’ says Rózsa Farkas, Founder and Director, Arcadia Missa. ‘They are immensely beautiful works for this price point.’

Daniel Correa Mejía, Luminoso como la luna, 2025
mor charpentier (Paris, Bogota), Kabinett sector

Centered on a nude male figure with luminous red skin, Daniel Correa Mejía’s oil painting Luminoso como la luna, (bright as the moon), presented by mor charpentier in the Kabinett sector, is rich with symbolism. Shining water, flowers that seem to glow, and a mythological creature clinging to the man’s back evoke a spiritual affinity between humanity and the universe while suggesting themes such as interconnectedness, nature, and self-awareness – common threads throughout the Colombia-born, Berlin-based artist’s practice.

Jennifer İpekel, Seal Folk, 2020, and Roots, 2024
Dirimart (Istanbul), Kabinett sector

Istanbul-born, Paris-based artist Jennifer İpekel uses ceramics and fabric to explore the boundaries between contemporary narratives and ancient myths. For her glazed sculpture Seal Folk, she drew on motifs from animism, folklore, and the natural world to create a creature that bridges the realms of the earthly and the divine. For the textile work Roots, İpekel used Indigosol dyes and embroidery on cotton to create an image filled with abstracted ethereal forms reminiscent of various flora and fauna. As a whole, it represents the three realms of the ancient Javanese Tribawana philosophy: micro, macro, and vivid cosmos. Both pieces will be presented by Dirimart in the Kabinett sector.

Samuel Nnorom, Blooming Figs, 2025
Retro Africa (Abuja), Discoveries sector

Nigerian artist Samuel Nnorom is known for a practice that reshapes the fabric of his society – both literally and metaphorically. From local tailors, Nnorom collects scraps of Dutch wax print, also known as Ankara fabric, and discarded second-hand clothing as well as leftover foam from furniture workshops. He then uses these materials to create wall-based pieces that are knotted, rolled, twisted, sewn, and strung-together, blurring the boundaries between sculpture, textile, and painting. Like many of his works, Blooming Figs, presented by Retro Africa (Abuja) in the Discoveries sector, uses the reshaped fabric to speak to themes including consumerism, industrialization, and Nigerian colonial histories.

Zac Langdon-Pole, Frog B, 2023
Station (Melbourne and Sydney), Insights sector

In his work Frog B, New Zealand artist Zac Langdon-Pole combines two jigsaw puzzles: one of Austrian painter Johann Nepomuk Schödlberger’s Rocky Coast in Moonlight (1830) and the other of a photograph captured in 2022 by NASA’s Webb Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera of the Tarantula Nebula. Presented by Station in the Insights sector, the work is part of the artist’s series ‘Entity Studies’ (2023), which questions the moment when one thing can become another. The artist’s process of combining puzzles takes inspiration from cognitive science studies that investigate visual perception by reducing an image to a two-tone, black-and-white version thereof. In doing so, the original image becomes something of an Rorschach test and scientists – or in this case, Langdon-Pole – can try to understand how prior experiences shape perception.

Wang Ye, Twins, 2024
YveYANG (New York), Discoveries sector

With his intricate silk-on-silk embroidery piece Twins, presented by YveYANG (New York) in the Discoveries sector, Chinese artist Wang Ye honors the Hunan, or Xiang, female embroiderers with whom he collaborates. The pearl-like beaded patterns represent the hair ornaments the artisans wear as they work, while the depiction of two identical strings of beads can be seen as a stand-in for the women’s identities as both laborers engaged in repetitive daily tasks and as artisans who champion beauty through their exquisite craftsmanship.

Under USD 100,000

Chen Hsing-Wan, Going up smoothly, 1993
PTT Space (Taipei), Insights sector

A notable piece by the late Taiwanese artist Chen Hsing-Wan, Going up smoothly – presented by PTT Space (Taipei) in the Insights sector – depicts an abstracted female silhouette bent over a swaddle-like shape, crafted with strips of linen mounted on wood. ‘Chen Hsing-Wan is significant for her ability to push the boundaries of abstraction while maintaining a strong connection to materiality and philosophical reflection,’ says Robert Hsu, Director, PTT Space. ‘Going up smoothly is a rare piece from Chen’s collection. Most works from this period are housed in museum collections, making this a unique opportunity to showcase her oeuvre at an art fair.’

Katsuhiro Yamaguchi, Untitled (cloth sculpture), 1960s
Annely Juda Fine Art (London), Kabinett sector

The late Japanese artist Katsuhiro Yamaguchi was a founding member of Experimental Workshop, one of the first avant-garde collectives in postwar Japan. Throughout his pioneering practice, he emphasized that a three-dimensional work can be seen in a multitude of ways – and the wall-based, metal-and-cloth Untitled (cloth sculpture) exemplifies this statement. The protruding orange geometric sculpture, presented by Annely Juda Fine Art (London) in the Kabinett sector, seems to shapeshift as viewers experience and engage with it from different vantage points.

Kim Yun Shin, Song of My Soul 2011-9, 2011
Kukje Gallery (Seoul and Busan), Kabinett sector

Born in North Korea and now based in South Korea, Kim Yun Shin had a nomadic early life, traveling extensively across France, Mexico, and Brazil and adopting Argentina as her home for an extended time. Known for her sculptures and paintings, such as Song of My Soul, presented by Kukje Gallery (Seoul and Busan) in the Kabinett sector, her works incorporate colors and forms drawn from Korean and South American Indigenous traditions. Here, multicolored lines and free-floating planes come together to celebrate the vital forces of life.
