After four years of market testing, AFIH is gaining more and more acceptance from art collectors and art lovers. The scope of AFIH2023 Autumn will continue the key words of ‘Art, Design and Quality life’. This edition will include contemporary and classical artworks, top-notch aesthetics brands, contemporary artists and designers, designer furniture, daily-use items, clothes, accessories and lifestyle products, where authentic scenes of quality life will be constructed. Artworks do not exist in isolation. They function best when placed in proper set- tings and echoing with each other. It will be an ideal blending of art and design. And the unique hotel setting has proven great success in triggering buyers’ desire to buy and collect. Each room of Four Seasons Hotel Beijing at AFIH2023 Autumn will be used as an exhibition unit, where artworks will be shown in a way closest to being displayed at home. Buyers are encouraged to envisage what the art piece would look like in their homes, blurring the line between art and daily life. Above that, all exhibitors will experience the luxurious leisure facilities of Four Seasons Hotel Beijing, the state-of-the-art technologies and services of the five stars hotel. During the fair, which will last three days in total, we will cooperate with top luxury brands, luxury cars lines, law firms on Chaoyang CBD, international schools, the Hong Kong Jockey Club and other institutions to invite VIP clients to engage in a cross-disciplinary integration. Eventually, we hope to build a platform for art trading and communication.
