REPORT
The 32nd edition of Art Taipei was held from October 24 to 27, 2025, at the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall 1, under the theme “Intersect: Diversity Equals Togetherness”. Bringing together 120 galleries from six countries and regions, the fair featured a vibrant mix of exhibitors, with more than half representing Taiwan’s local art scene alongside several internationally renowned galleries. As one of Asia’s longest-running art fairs, Art Taipei continues to serve as a vital platform for cross-regional artistic exchange. In conjunction with Taipei Art Week, it also connected museum and gallery exhibitions across the city. This year’s International Forum gathered leading figures from the Guggenheim Museum, Tai Kwun (Hong Kong), and the Royal Academy of Art (The Hague) to discuss Asia’s growing role and influence in the global art landscape.
