"Adrian Cheng has been a leading figure in Hong Kong's art world for the past two decades. He has played a central role across the spheres of art, design and retail as the special administrative region has grown as a centre for the south Asian art market, with international art galleries and auction houses increasingly basing themselves there, the museum sector expanding and the Art HK art fair becoming Art Basel Hong Kong."
"In 2008, Cheng founded K11, a property business dedicated to "cultural commerce"-integrating museum-standard art with high-end shopping malls in Hong Kong and mainland China-and responsible for developing the Victoria Dockside global art and cultural district, home to K11 MUSEA, on Hong Kong's harbourfront. For many years, he held leadership roles at K11 and at New World Development Company, the leading Hong Kong property business founded by his grandfather."
Adrian Cheng has helped position Hong Kong as a major South Asian art-market centre by blending art, design and retail. He founded K11 in 2008 to pursue "cultural commerce," combining museum-standard art with high-end shopping and developing Victoria Dockside and K11 MUSEA. He held leadership roles at K11 and at New World Development. K11 staged notable exhibitions such as a 2014 Monet loan from the Musée Marmottan Monet, inspired by the Water Lilies at the Musée de l'Orangerie. Cheng established the K11 Art Foundation in 2010 to support Asian contemporary artists and the K11 Craft & Guild Foundation in 2018 to support traditional Chinese craftsmanship and international research partnerships.
