Angelle Siyang-Le on Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 and the Asian Art Market

About this episode

Adam Green interviews Angelle Siyang-Le about the upcoming Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 and the current state of the Asian art market.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, ahead of the fair’s 2026 edition opening on March 25. After a period of rapid growth during and immediately following the pandemic, the Chinese art market began to soften in 2021 alongside broader economic challenges. As the region prepares for its most important art market event of the year, Adam and Angelle discuss the current state of the market in China, whether signs of renewed confidence are emerging, and how Art Basel Hong Kong fits within an increasingly competitive landscape of art fairs across Asia. They also preview what to expect at this year’s fair, including how galleries are feeling heading into the week, notable presentations to watch, and the Asia debut of Art Basel’s digital art initiative, Zero 10.
