3月21日，巴塞尔艺术展香港展会在香港会展中心开启。3月23日，展会对公众开放，来自世界各地和中国大陆的艺术工作者汇聚香港，置身于这场艺术盛宴之中。
Thousands of people showed up at the Art Basel Hong Kong on Thursday, one of Asia’s largest contemporary art fairs, to view large-scale installations from hanging money trees to a pumpkin 8 feet (2.4 m) tall. Participating galleries reported bumper sales.
周四，数千人来到亚洲最大的当代艺术博览会之一——香港巴塞尔艺术展，观看从悬挂的发财树到8英尺高的南瓜等大型装置。参与展览的画廊报告销售火爆。
The annual fair, which also has editions in Basel, Paris, and Miami Beach, runs from March 23 to 25. The 2023 event is the first in four years to be held in full, after 2020’s was cancelled and the next two mostly put online. Large queues of people, most not wearing masks, were seen entering the venue. Art Basel Hong Kong is one of the first big events the city has held since canceling the COVID-19 mask rules this month.
一年一度的博览会从3月23日持续到25日，在巴塞尔、巴黎和迈阿密海滩设有分会场。2023年的展览是四年来首次全面举行的艺术盛事，此前2020年的赛事被取消，接下来两年的两届展览基本都是在线举行。人们排着长队进入会场，大多数人都没有戴口罩。香港巴塞尔艺术展是香港本月取消新冠肺炎口罩规定以来举办的首批大型活动之一。
Aimee Man, a sales director at Peres Projects, said 70% of that gallery’s art pieces had been sold in the pre-selling session before the fair. “We are just really excited to be back after almost four years. And this year is really different.” City authorities are welcoming the art fair as they try to improve the economy and promote Hong Kong as an energetic cultural center. The city is also hosting two financial meetings this week, followed next month by the Rugby Sevens three-day tournament and music festival Creamfields.
Peres Projects的销售总监艾梅·曼说，该画廊70%的艺术品都是在博览会前的预售环节售出的。“我们真的很兴奋，四年后一切都回来了。今年真的不一样。”香港当局欢迎艺术博览会，因为他们试图改善经济，推动香港成为一个充满活力的文化中心。该市本周还将举办两场金融会议，下个月将举行为期三天的七人制橄榄球锦标赛和Creamfields音乐节。
Li Danqing, senior international partner at LGDR gallery, said things were returning to normal. People were more informed about the artwork but still a bit cautious, she said. “Everyone is more cautious but making wiser and better decision in terms of buying,” she said.
LGDR qallery高级国际合伙人李丹青表示，情况正在恢复正常。她说，人们对艺术品的了解更多了，但仍然有点谨慎。“每个人都更加谨慎，但在购买方面做出了更明智、更好的决定，”她说。
