Taking another step forward since our coverage of the fair last year, Hong Kong International Art Fair has expanded to include 260 blue-chip galleries as well joined the fold of Art Basel.

We’ll take a more focused look for you soon, but for now enjoy an overview of the experience with some pics taken for us by Jasper Wong (POW WOW) after the jump…
