Rich young Chinese shop at HK’s Art Basel


Hong Kong: Huang Xiaoshuai and his wife last year splashed out US$70,000 (RM310,000) for a large painting of fish by Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody – part of a growing clique of young, affluent Chinese art enthusiasts building their own high-end collections.

The picture now hangs in their Shanghai home and the couple, along with other mainland collectors, have flown in to attend VIP events at this week’s Art Basel in Hong Kong where they are hoping to indulge their taste for contemporary Asian and European art.
