Asian Art Fairs Ltd is a joint venture between Montgomery, Single Market Events Ltd and Ramsay Fairs. The company was created in 2007 with a view to launching new art fairs in Asia.
The first fair, ART HK was launched in 2008 and was the largest international art fair ever to take place in Hong Kong. It welcomed over 19,000 visitors who came to see the 101 leading international galleries that exhibited at the landmark Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Since then the fair has grown to over 260 galleries from 38 countries and over 63,000 visitors.
Montgomery has combined with Pico Global’s Sri Lanka operation, Pico Events, to organise a programme of new international trade shows to respond to the expanding Sri Lankan economy. Sri Lanka is experiencing a peace-dividend boom, rapidly modernising its infrastructure and revitalising its key hotel and hospitality sector.
The India Art Fair is a joint venture between Montgomery, Neha Kirpal - who founded the fair - and Will Ramsay who launched and owns the Affordable Art Fair brand. Launched in 2008, this fair runs in New Delhi and attracts over 100,000 contemporary and modern art lovers every year.
