30th Guangzhou Int'l Art Fair to showcase masterpieces by Xu Beihong and Van Gogh

The 30th Guangzhou International Art Fair will be held from December 18 to 21, 2025, at Zhongdai Trade Plaza, Haizhu District, Guangzhou.

Held alongside with the 2025 World Art IP Conference, this year's fair brings together masterpieces by renowned Chinese and international artists, with a special focus on the classical legacy of masters and the inheritance of Lingnan culture.

Representative works and sketch manuscripts by legendary Chinese painter Xu Beihong will be prominently exhibited. Works by leading figures of the Lingnan School, including Yang Zhiguang, Lin Yong, and Chen Jinzhang, will also be on display, covering genres such as figure painting, landscape, and bird-and-flower painting.

A professional guided tour team will be available throughout the fair, offering scheduled daily interpretations of the artworks, their stories, and artistic significance.

Iconic works by Vincent van Gogh will be showcased in Guangzhou. In addition, the fair will present a selection of large-scale international public art sculptures previously exhibited at landmarks such as the Louvre Courtyard in Paris and the streets of Manhattan, New York, featuring modernist metal sculptures and contemporary interactive installations.

Beyond the two major highlight exhibitions, the fair will feature six themed sections, including contemporary art, digital art, IP art, and aesthetic lifestyle.

The event will adopt a combined format of a VIP Preview (the afternoon of December 18) and Public Open Days (December 19–21). During the public days, a range of activities such as family workshops and art lectures will be held.
