Lorenzo Rudolf came up with a list of his five favorite art collections for the Wall Street Journal’s SceneAsia blog. He’s gearing up for the opening of Art Stage Singapore on January 12 which he thinks will play a crucial role in integrating Asia’s art market:

“The art markets of Europe and the United States are an open and integrated community while Asia remains fragmented,” says Mr. Rudolf, who in 2007 helped create ShContemporary, China’s first contemporary art fair. “These [markets] have to be opened up and brought together, and it is only possible through top international art fairs.”
