Highlights include:

Lehmann Maupin (New York, London, Seoul) will feature a selection of works from across the gallery’s programme, foregrounding Asian and diaspora female artists including Tammy Nguyen, Mandy El-Sayegh, Lee Bul and Kim Yun Shin. The presentation will also include new works by David Salle, Todd Gray and Chantal Joffe.
Waddington Custot (London) will present significant British and international artists, including late eminent British sculptor William Turnbull, husband of Singapore-born British artist Kim Lim (currently the subject of a comprehensive retrospective at the National Gallery Singapore, on until 2 February 2025). Also on display will be vibrant paintings by celebrated modern Chinese artist Chu Teh-Chun, encapsulating his mature style and dynamic use of colour; recent works by Ian Davenport from his acclaimed ‘puddle paintings’ series; and animal bronzes by Barry Flanagan, Britain’s most radical sculptor.
Zilberman (Istanbul, Berlin, Miami) will host a presentation of works by Carlos Aires, Isaac Chong Wai, Sandra del Pilar, Azade Köker and Sim Chi Yin. By bringing together artists from different generations and geographies, the exhibition will delve into the relationship between tradition, society and the individual, taking personal stories as a vantage point. Through a wide range of mediums, including sculpture, video, painting, and installation, this curated show will offer new ways of understanding the realities of conflict, power structures and social taboos through multi-vocal artistic practices.
Annely Juda Fine Art (London) will showcase a selection of paintings and sculptures that emphasise the use of primary colours to enhance sculptural forms or explore colour as a form of expression. For instance, a curated ‘blue’ section will juxtapose Anthony Caro’s iconic floor sculpture Flax, a 1966 wall relief Japanese artist Yoshige Saito and a painting, Take Us, by Yuko Shiraishi. In addition, the gallery will present David Hockney’s iPad paintings among other works by artists including Alan Green, Nigel Hall, Anthony Hill, László Moholy Nagy, David Nash, Alan Reynolds.
Ota Fine Arts (Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo) will host a curated presentation featuring artists from Asia whose artworks span a variety of mediums and themes, including Maria Farrar, Chris Huen Sin-Kan, Rina Bannerjee, Atreyu Moniaga and Mannat Gandotra. Singapore’s contemporary art practice will be represented by new, dynamic explorations by Hilmi Johandi, Guo-Liang Tan, and Zai Kuning.
Ames Yavuz (Singapore, Sydney) will present acclaimed artists from Southeast Asia in a thematic show titled ‘Kindred Spirits’. Works by Abdul Abdullah, Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan, Elmer Borlongan, Ayka Go, Alvin Ong, and Samak Kosem will explore how memories and materials accrue over time to form complex local identities. Including a new sculptural installation by the Aquilizans, and a quietly powerful curated room of works by Elmer Borlongan, the showcase will delve into personal landscapes and themes of resilience, resistance and community.
Gajah Gallery (Singapore, Jakarta, Yogyakarta) will spotlight a roster of critically acclaimed artists from the Philippines, Indonesia, and Singapore, including Benedicto ‘BenCab’ Cabrera, Suzann Victor, Yunizar, Jane Lee, Kayleigh Goh, Leslie De Chavez, Mark Justiniani, Marina Cruz. This diverse group of artists includes those who redefine abstract expressionism, subvert and merge two- and three-dimensional artistic practices, and search for respite amidst the noise of today’s urban life – themes that transcend boundaries and resonate with concerns of both the Singapore and global art audiences.

Gazelli Art House (London, Baku) will display a dynamic group exhibition titled ‘Unknown & Uncontained’, featuring six pioneering artists who explore the intersection of digital media and emerging technologies. Centred on speculative communication with other forms of life – whether biological, machinic, or data-based – the theme of the presentation will invite viewers to experience newly generated worlds through various mediums, including video, sculpture, framed prints and neon. The presentation will include works by acclaimed artist Jake Elwes, while new works by Entangled Others, Xin Liu, and 00 Zhang will be showcased in Singapore for the first time.
Cuturi Gallery (Singapore, London) will showcase four young Singaporean painters: Aisha Rosli, Faris Heizer, Shen Jiaqi and Khairulddin Wahab. This generation of contemporary artists presents distinct styles and thought-provoking themes. Their work will be presented alongside pieces by three European artists: Hubert Le Gall, Lionel Sabatté and Julien Des Monstiers
CAYÓN (Madrid, Manila, Menorca) will present a curated selection of works by groundbreaking abstract artists, including Venezuelan Kinetic painter and sculptor Jesús Soto. In addition, two significant early works by Fernando Zóbel will showcase the artist’s transition toward abstraction; this coincides with the ongoing touring exhibitions ‘Zóbel. The Future of the Past’ (on display at the Prado, Spain, 14 November 2022 – 5 March 2023; at the Ayala Museum, Philippines, 5 September 2024 – 26 January 2025; and ‘Fernando Zóbel: Order is Essential’ at the National Gallery Singapore from 9 May – 30 November 2025). Exceptional works by Philippe Decrauzat and Sergio Garcia will also be displayed.
Asia Art Center (Taipei, Beijing) will spotlight the creative path of three artists who represent different generations of Taiwanese art history through their contributions to contemporary sculpture in the Chinese-speaking world and their increasingly sophisticated explorations in the field. Yuyu Yang’s Taroko Landscapes Series, Ju Ming’s Living World Series and Li Chen’s Ethereal Cloud Series will be shown supplemented by the well-known Calligraphy Series, Taichi Series and Spiritual Journey through the Great Ether from the artists respectively.
Gana Art (Seoul, Los Angeles) will host an exhibition titled ‘Odyssey on Memoria’, featuring four contemporary artists who offer a profound exploration of memory and identity through diverse artistic expressions. Shim Moon-seup draws inspiration from the seas of his childhood in Tongyeong, evincing a profound connection with the natural world. Influenced by Dante’s Divine Comedy and informed by a deeply personal tragedy, Ho Jae Kim’s artworks delve into the concept of purgatory. Also drawing from personal traumas and existential inquiries, Shiota Chiharu explores themes of life, death, and identity through installations that use thread skeins resembling blood vessels to symbolise the interconnectedness of existence and the search for self-identity. Park Sukwon, renowned for his abstract sculptures, conveys his life’s trajectory and memories through towering structures that ascend skyward.
Goodman Gallery (Johannesburg, Cape Town, London, New York) will show a group presentation that reflects their artists’ institutional program across this year. Works by Yinka Shonibare CBE RA will examine the relationship between Africa and Europe, speaking to the persistence of colonialism and its legacy. Shonibare had a major solo show at the Serpentine this year, the first at the institution in 20 years. Kapwani Kiwanga’s work is research-driven, instigated by marginalised or forgotten histories, and articulated across a range of materials and mediums including sculpture, installation, photography, video, and performance. Her inclusion follows the opening of the 2024 Venice Biennale where her solo ‘Trinket’ is the presentation for the Canadian Pavilion. Misheck Masamvu’s work moves between abstraction and figuration, allowing him to address the past while searching for a way of being in the world. His inclusion follows his participation in ‘Translations: Afro-Asian Poetics’ curated by Dr Zoe Whitley in Singapore earlier this year at The Institutum.
