International art world makes tentative plans for fairs, amid cautiousness and fatigue from online viewing rooms Most of the art world’s major international events scheduled for the early months of 2021 have already been postponed or converted into more pandemic-aware formats.
Thousands of well-heeled frequent flyers browsing around yet another exhibition center, in yet another country, eager to discover the art world’s next big thing.
That was the fun of art fairs, the destination events that defined and fueled a global boom in recent years. In 2019, sales from the world’s art fairs reached an estimated $16.6 billion, with dealers relying on fairs to generate more than 40 percent of that year’s revenue, according to last year’s Art Basel & UBS Art Market Report.

For gallery owners, artists, and collectors, life before the pandemic often involved getting on a plane and going to Paris, Los Angeles, or maybe Shanghai, to attend the next splashy art fair.
But all that was upended, of course, as the pandemic shut down fair after fair. First to announce a closure was Art Basel Hong Kong, which canceled its March fair in February and moved many of its galleries to online viewing rooms, or OVRs.
