Since the creation of these two parallel fairs and at the same city also, Art021 in 2013 and Westbund in 2014, they have been growing up in quality and in global impact throughout the following editions. Specifically, the 2019 editions are at the top of the 2019 Westbund 9th and Art021 21st ranking. In the case of Art021, the Detour and Approach programs, with a curatorial character, thus lower the average rate owing to the fact that emerging galleries develop these programs. However, if the analysis were only from the Main section, the position of Art021 would be the 15th.

The objective of this analysis is to expose the potential and interest of international galleries on a specific date and city: Shanghai. Due to its social and economic characteristics, Hong Kong, with Art Basel Hong Kong, has placed the international focus on Asia, despite that, Westbund and Art021 gathers participating galleries at the most important fairs in the world and perhaps hegemony in that area may have to be reconsidered.
