Art Basel Hong Kong returned this March, and beneath the usual spectacle, something more was happening. Collectors were slowing down, spending longer in front of work, asking harder questions. From Yang Juhae and Woo Hannah making a quiet case for textile art as serious conceptual practice, to Janine Antoni anchoring the fair's feminist art history, the work that held attention longest shared a point of view rooted in place, tradition, and the female body as both subject and author.
