Legends Never Die by Caroline Rothstein - Narratively: Local stories, boldly told. August 1990, St.
Marks Place. Priscilla Forsyth, one month shy of her fourteenth birthday and just home from summer camp, straddles one of the two lion statues guarding the downward staircase to the apartment building her family has owned since 1975. Naturally blonde Liza and dyed blonde Margaret idle with her. It’s hot out, and Priscilla is becoming more curious about the world beyond her sidewalk. An energetic kid with a scrawny but chiseled build named Harold Hunter rides up on his BMX bike. “That was his little excuse to start talking to us,” Priscilla recalls. A month later, Priscilla and her friends were meandering downtown drinking forties, celebrating her birthday. When the girls arrived at the Banks, they met Harold and his friends, an infamous crew of amateur and professional skateboarders who rode alongside moving taxicabs and jumped off building and museum steps. When Harold saw the girls, invited by his other friends, he made sure everyone knew he met them first.

Doing Business at ART HK: Better, Bigger, Faster, Stronger : Art Law Gallery. By Jessica Kantor Click here to read the Chinese version of this article.
On the verge of becoming an international institution, the recent Hong Kong International Art Fair, known as "ART HK," represents an exciting development in the state of the art world in China. This growth has critical, yet profoundly inspiring, implications upon the international art community. Since its humble beginnings in 2008, ART HK has shown rapid growth with over 260 galleries from over 38 countries participating in the recent fair.
Momentum of ART HK’s success and prominence was recently propelled by an announcement that MCH Swiss Exhibition, owners of Art Basel, the world’s biggest contemporary art fair, have just signed an agreement with Asian Art Fairs, the owners of ART HK, to purchase a majority stake in ART HK, which went into effect on July 1, 2011. It was recently reported in Artprice.com, a French-based data service, that China ranks number one in fine art auction revenue, surpassing the U.S. Official Website. Graffiti Art Magazine.

When Artinfo released the China-focused edition of an article featuring the most influential young players in the art world, the preponderance of Hong Kong-based figures, occupying twelve of thirty positions, was unexpected.
Despite the meteoric growth of the art fair ArtHK as a pan-Asian platform, the success of international auction firms Christie’s and Sotheby’s in the city, and the evolution of the downtown financial district as a gallery hotspot, the Chinese art world largely continues to regard Hong Kong as a provincial and utilitarian offshore haven for their own regional art market. But a younger generation of artists, curators, and patrons in the southern territory is rapidly transforming this image into one of a far more international hub, a place of exchange that, like Hong Kong civil society as a whole, is increasingly resistant to narratives of Chinese hegemony.
