Art Equity has been accepted into the inaugural edition of Sydney Contemporary, an exclusive high-end art fair showcasing modern and contemporary artwork from leading Australian and international galleries. Sydney's first international art fair will run from 20^th to 22^nd September at Carriageworks.

Chen Ping has been invited to exhibit in an official collateral event of the Venice Biennale, the world's most prestigious and longest running international art event.

The themed group exhibition featuring four international artists including Chen will be held at the Palazzo Bembo.

The Venice Biennale office and Director Mr.Massimiliano Gioni has declared the exhibition at Palazzo Bembo "PERSONAL STRUCTURES" and accordingly the presentation of each participating artist, an official part of the Venice Art Biennale 2013.

Nine works by Chen Ping have been selected in the exhibition including two large paintings which will be exhibited in his solo show at Art Equity in late August.

This is a pivotal mark in Chens career and strongly reinforces the relevance of this artists' work on the international stage. The art world's attention will be focussed on this Venice Biennale and its associated exhibitions during its 6 month duration.

The Venice Biennale runs from 1 June to 24 November 2013.

Art Equity has expanded into the Asian and UK art markets recently with offices opening in London and Singapore. Our Executive Director of Sales, Alistair Bailey has relocated to London to head up our Mayfair-based business while Singapore-based Australian art consultant, Anna Layard manages our Singapore office.

As we enter our tenth year, Art Equity has emerged as one of the most respected art galleries and alternative asset investment businesses in Australia. Our growing number of sophisticated art collectors and investors looking to diversify their portfolios into broader international markets has necessitated the diversification of our business into Asia and Europe. Our stable of artists is also expanding to include artists outside the Australian market.

Art Equity is in an excellent position to access Asian and European art for our clients and promote, exhibit and sell our represented artists to much larger international markets. We regard this as a critical milestone in the careers of these artists.
