Taipei Dangdai Art & Ideas, the Taiwan art fair, hosted its 2024 edition last week, with 78 dealers from 19 countries and territories exhibiting this year. The fair, now in its fifth edition, opened as Taiwan’s collectors continue to exhibit their purchasing power and the country’s leading art institutions flex their curatorial prowess to visiting international dealers, curators, and other art professionals.
The fair kicked off Thursday with a VIP opening during which blue-chip enterprise Galleria Continua reported selling a Corten-steel sculpture by Antony Gormley for over $625,000. By the fair’s end, several galleries participating for the first time reported positive sales results. Sydney-based Coma sold five out of six paintings by Australian-born, Santa Fe–based artist Justin Williams, with four selling at $31,000 each.
