Shanghai’s art exhibitions are more exciting than ever in 2014. Based on the data, there’re 9 art events in Shanghai, and this is the second highest quantity, after the 2010 World Expo, in 5 years. The art shows are more international, such as Monet Art Exhibition, the collection show of the Royal Liechtenstein. 2014, is the “Art Year” for Shanghai.

Expect the modern ink and wash painting, it seems wateriness in Shanghai gallery industry. Because of the global shows, galleries started to unit each other, then plan a show. And this move attracts a lot of pop artists.

The feature of shows in this year is the crossover collaboration with music industry and fashion shows. Moreover, the places of exhibitions stretch to every corner of the city, such as shopping centers, train stations, airports, theaters and tourism areas. People are able to admire art everywhere. Hotels also reinforce the power of art to enrich the culture of hotels.

Besides the gallery art shows, the highlight of the art circle in Shanghai is the art exhibition. The 10th Shanghai Biennale, SH Contemporary, the 17th Shanghai Art Fair, Asia Gallery Art Exhibition, City Art Show (CAS), Xiaoge’s ART021, all of these will present for Shanghai. Whether the quality or the quantity, the art shows in Shanghai will be the No. 1.

The art shows will really flatter the art lovers. The fund of the art business must have an actual promote, and the fund happened to coincide with the demand in art market. Due to the increasing number of people focuses on art, the market of art in Shanghai devotes more efforts to develop the industry.

2014年上海的艺术展览季比以往都热闹。据数据统计，2014年上半年，上海的大中型艺术展览活动共79场，达到近5年来仅次于2010世博年的历史第二新高。整体的展览质量也非常豪华，包括前段时间大热的莫奈画展、列支敦士登王室收藏展等等国际顶级艺术展，据统计，全年有六大艺术博览会。对于上海来说，2014年成为名副其实的“艺术年”。

除了当代水墨有集中表现以外，上海画廊界在上一年并没有特别出彩的展览活动。今年，随着莫奈、列支敦士登王室收藏等大展的一系列平行展、外围展，画廊界也开始联合办展，配合的展览也开展得风风火火，并且受到新锐艺术家的欢迎。

今年画廊展览的亮点在于跨界活动，与音乐节、时装秀、戏曲界等搭配，展现出别样的风采。不仅如此，展览的地点也延伸到城市的各处，商厦、高铁站、机场、剧场以及旅游区，处处都能满足民众对艺术的欣赏要求。以往与高档酒店办展还只是极少数画廊的独家专利，而如今酒店也以最大力度引进艺术展览，以此来丰富酒店的文化深度。例如今年威斯汀、喜来登、香格里拉推出的薰衣社、艺术门等海派画展。

那么除了画廊有全新的发展以外，艺术博览会也成为今年上海艺术文化推广的重头戏。第十届“上海双年展”、停办一年的“上海国际当代艺博会”、第17届“上海艺博会”、“亚洲画廊艺术博览会”、一年两届的“上海城市艺博会”以及知名策展人肖戈组织的“ART021”都将在上海的艺术舞台上大放异彩，除开五年一届的全国美展上海站，今年上海将有各具特色的六大艺博会，无论是数量还是质量上来说，都将成为全国第一。

今年艺术大赏的盛况可谓是令人受惊若宠，艺术展背后的营销体系显然对运作的资金有了极大的提升，这种资金的转变与市场的需求是不谋而合的。随着越来越多的普通公众开始关注艺术品，上海艺术市场也开始推动了整个圈子的发展。
