Gallery week underscores city's thriving contemporary art scene

Held from Oct 31 to Nov 4, the event attracted galleries, artists and art professionals from 13 cities who shared recent developments in the field.

One of the highlights was a section displaying the works of four noted artists — Xu Jiang brought his iconic sunflower installations; Gautier Deblonde's Atelier series was first shown in the city; and the vanguard explorations of Assadour Markarov and Li Peng through sculptural installations.
