Almost simultaneously to ArteBA in Buenos Aires, another Contemporary Art Fair had collectors raving! It was the ArtBasel, held in Hong Kong, where 240 galleries from 35 different countries presented works of approximately 3000 artists.

One of them was the David Zwirner gallery, from USA, which exhibited works by Adel Abdessemed: three soldiers done in charcoal, surrounding a white aluminium horse as a way to bring attention to death, life and war.
