Taipei, the capital, was spared the fate of a total lockdown, and the city\u2019s art scene has thrived as a result. The\u00a0<a id=\"auto-tag_art-taipei\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\" data-tag=\"art-taipei\">Art Taipei<\/a>\u00a0fair went on as planned in October, with the Taipei Biennial following in November. Activities have continued ever since, all against the backdrop of a liberal and progressive society\u2014the first in Asia to recognize same-sex marriage and have full democratic elections\u2014as well as a degree of technological advancement to be envied.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Institutional Action\u2014at Home and Abroad<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With more than 40 museums and 85 galleries in the greater Taipei region, Taiwan\u2019s contemporary art scene thrives on a grand local stage. Museums and institutions in Taipei recorded more than a million visitors this past January alone, according to data from the city\u2019s Department of Cultural Affairs, providing a solid base for the area\u2019s art milieu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But boosting the visibility of contemporary art from Taiwan on the global map is high on the agenda among art institutions. \u201cAs a small island, we need to overcome geographical and market barriers by reaching abroad, engaging the international community for a dialogue,\u201d said Wang Jun-jieh, director of\u00a0<b><a id=\"auto-tag_taipei-fine-arts-museum\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\" data-tag=\"taipei-fine-arts-museum\">Taipei Fine Arts Museum<\/a><\/b>. Among the museum\u2019s many initiatives has been an effort to maintain Taiwan\u2019s presence at international art extravaganzas such as the Venice Biennale, in spite of challenges in doing so: The Taipei Fine Arts Museum had helmed the Taiwan exhibition in the Venice Biennale since 1995, but the island was bumped out of the national pavilion category under pressure from mainland China in 2003. Since then, the Taiwan exhibition has operated as a collateral event.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/ \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   aligncenter size-full wp-image-1234598738 lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Ku-Fu-sheng_The-Room-at-the-Top-of-the-Stairs_1983.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Ku-Fu-sheng_The-Room-at-the-Top-of-the-Stairs_1983.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Ku-Fu-sheng_The-Room-at-the-Top-of-the-Stairs_1983.jpg?resize=400,284 400w\" alt=\"Painting of two nude men, shown from behind in a room.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\" data-lazy-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">Fu-Sheng Ku\u2019s\u00a0<em>The Room at the Top of the Stairs<\/em>, 1983, was included in the exhibition \u201cSpectrosynthesis,\u201d 2017, at\u00a0<a id=\"auto-tag_moca-taipei\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\" data-tag=\"moca-taipei\">MOCA Taipei<\/a>.<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">COURTESY MOCA TAIPEI<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Building bridges with the outside world has been a goal too for the\u00a0<b>National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts<\/b>\u00a0in Taichung City, about 100 miles south of Taipei. In the spring, the museum was pressing ahead with plans for a collateral event at the Venice Architecture Biennale, which was scheduled to open in late May after pandemic-related delays. Its offering was \u201cPrimitive Migration from\/to Taiwan,\u201d curated by Divooe Zein Architects and Double-Grass International Co. \u201cWe want to focus on the exhibition to achieve greater international visibility,\u201d said National Taiwan Museum director Liang Yung-fei. \u201cWe will also strengthen our collaborations with other global institutions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Another way to gain global exposure is to stage topical exhibitions that can attract the media spotlight. In 2017 the\u00a0<b>Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Taipei<\/b>, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, presented \u201cSpectrosynthesis \u2014 Asian LGBTQ Issues and Art Now,\u201d the first LGBTQ art survey show at a major museum in Asia, ahead of the island passing a law allowing same-sex marriage that same year. In 2019 MOCA Taipei showcased a series of melancholic photographs by\u00a0<b>Liu Xia<\/b>, wife of the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, in an exhibition titled \u201cAtemschaukel\u201d; it was her first exhibition since being released from house arrest in China two years earlier. \u201cMOCA\u2019s exhibitions cover a range of topics from race and colonialism to gender and digital technology,\u201d said MOCA Taipei director Li-Chen Loh. \u201cOur choice of topics demonstrates our intention to connect with a global audience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/ \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   aligncenter size-full wp-image-1234598739 lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MOCA-Taipei.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MOCA-Taipei.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MOCA-Taipei.jpg?resize=400,267 400w\" alt=\"The exterior of MOCA Taipei.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-lazy-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">The exterior of MOCA Taipei.<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">COURTESY MOCA TAIPEI<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Market Measures<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">According to a report published by the Ministry of Culture in 2019, art sales in Taiwan rose 14 percent, to $225.4 million, from the year before, with 97 percent of the sales made locally. And Taiwan\u2019s enthusiastic local collectors have been the foundation of the island\u2019s market, said Oliver Chang, chair of the\u00a0<b>Taiwan Art Gallery Association<\/b>, which organizes art fairs around the island, including\u00a0<b>Art Taipei<\/b>, the region\u2019s oldest. For its 27th edition, last October, the five-day fair attracted more than 70,000 visitors despite international travel restrictions, with sales totaling $35 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cPast editions show that we have a solid collector base, and we see more young collectors in recent years,\u201d said Chang, whose next fair is scheduled for this coming October. \u201cMany exhibitors at the 2020 edition of Art Taipei encountered a new generation of collectors who are not just young but also well-educated and have overseas experience. They have fresh ideas and greater control over their budget for art collecting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">If lesser known in the West, Taiwanese collectors and their strong buying power is recognized across Asia. While Hong Kong remains a center for art auctions, it has long been routine for auction houses to exhibit future sales highlights in Taipei. That buying power was enough to attract\u00a0<b>Magnus Renfrew<\/b>, who directed Hong Kong\u2019s ART HK and Art Basel Hong Kong, to set up\u00a0<b><a id=\"auto-tag_taipei-dangdai\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\" data-tag=\"taipei-dangdai\">Taipei Dangdai<\/a><\/b>, an art fair that brings international galleries and art lovers to the island. The first two editions, in 2019 and 2020 (the second one in January, just before the pandemic broke out), were well-received locally and earned the praise of visitors from abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Renfrew described the art audience in Taiwan as \u201cextremely sophisticated\u201d and interested in \u201cactive collecting.\u201d He also noted the growing presence of younger, Western-educated collectors who \u201chave been attending exhibitions and fairs internationally and are engaging with art that resonates with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">The next full-scale Taipei Dangdai is scheduled for May 2022, owing to pandemic travel restrictions, but Renfrew said he believes Taiwan\u2019s success in containing the coronavirus has given \u201cconfidence to the world that it is a safe place to visit. With its economy largely intact, Taiwan\u2019s status as an art market destination is in a strong and credible position.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">One change Renfrew said could make it even stronger concerns taxes. \u201cImport tax and sales tax are not prohibitive in Taiwan, but if you asked me to pick one thing that could further Taipei\u2019s cause as a market destination, it would be to waive the tax on the import and sale of art,\u201d he said. Others share the sentiment.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\"><b>Hu Yung-fen<\/b><\/a>, a curator and board member of the National Culture and Arts Foundation, has repeatedly said that Taiwan\u2019s unfriendly tax system has driven auction houses away to Hong Kong, a tax-free trading hub. An amendment to relax taxation on art objects was put forth to the local legislature at the end of last year, but consensus has yet to be reached\u2014and the debate and deliberations are ongoing.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/ \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   aligncenter size-full wp-image-1234598737 lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Installation-Shot_Wang-Jiajia_FOMO_Courtesy-of-TAO-ART.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Installation-Shot_Wang-Jiajia_FOMO_Courtesy-of-TAO-ART.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Installation-Shot_Wang-Jiajia_FOMO_Courtesy-of-TAO-ART.jpg?resize=400,300 400w\" alt=\"Three sculptures sit on a purple-neon-lighted bar in front of two stools cast in neon magenta light.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-lazy-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">Wang Jiajia\u2019s exhibition \u201cFOMO: Fear of Missing Out,\u201d 2020, at\u00a0<a id=\"auto-tag_tao-art-space\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/t\/tao-art-space\/\" data-tag=\"tao-art-space\">TAO Art Space<\/a>.<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">COURTESY TAO ART<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Artists and Galleries<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cArtists from Taiwan have relatively low visibility in the eyes of collectors from abroad,\u201d said\u00a0<b>Niu Jun-qiang<\/b>, a Taipei-based artist focused on video, experimental film, photography, and mixed-media installations who has shown frequently around town.

His works have sold well at Art Basel Hong Kong and, in March, he mounted a solo exhibition at Hong Kong\u2019s Galerie du Monde. He is also preparing for his first solo exhibition in New York, with Sean Kelly Gallery, in the fall. Despite all that, Wu expressed a sense of solidarity with artists still trying to make their way. \u201cThere\u2019s a lack of channels to bridge with the international art world,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Wu also hopes that young collectors in Taipei could turn more toward local artists, especially given current global circumstances. \u201cThey are willing to travel everywhere and find the most trendy works,\u201d he said of Taiwanese buyers. \u201cBut when easy international travel is no longer available, things need to change.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The rise of young collectors has helped energize the local scene.
