We were pleased to host a special evening with Magnus Renfrew, founder and managing director of ARTHQ based in Hong Kong, on Thursday, 23rd November 2017. The occasion also marks the Singapore launch of Magnus’ latest book “Uncharted Territory: Culture and Commerce in Hong Kong’s Art World”. During the event, Magnus discussed about his book, latest adventures as a cultural entrepreneur and why he thinks Hong Kong is going to be a art powerhouse.
Previously, Magnus served as founding director of Art Basel in Hong Kong from 2012-2014. From 2007-2012, Magnus was the founding fair director of Hong Kong International Art Fair (ART HK), which is widely credited as having played an important role in re-positioning Hong Kong as the center of the art market in Asia.
Magnus has frequently appeared in the Power 100 lists of ART + AUCTION, ART REVIEW and Le Journal des Arts as one of the 100 most influential figures in the art world. In 2013, he was honoured by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader.
The event is supported by ROYAL OAK CELLAR, a specialist in fine and rare Bordeaux French Wines, with a small collection of Growers Champagne and Whiskeys.
