January 28, 2016 by Marion Maneker

The South China Morning Post has a breathless report that David Zwirner is eager to open a space in Hong Kong:

“A couple of years ago, we thought we would just come to the art fair. Now, I’m convinced we need a gallery here,” said the founder of the eponymous New York and London gallery during a whirlwind visit to meet local clients.

Christopher D’Amelio, senior partner in the gallery, said it wanted to have a permanent presence in Hong Kong “as soon as possible” after witnessing a steady growth in its Asian business.

But the interview goes on to say that Zwirner is wary of having to pay up in a declining real estate market:

He said he had yet to find a suitable space and was prepared to wait for Hong Kong’s retail rents to fall further.
