Destination China for Moonstar


When contemporary Chinese artistic creation is the happy union between the highly competent Shanghai Art+ in Shanghai on the one hand, and talent scouts, such as Moonstar on the other, what you end up with, is more than explosive. No room for amateurs, even the most ‘enlightened’ ones.


Talent scouts plus a promising gallery

No need for an introduction for avant garde "fine arts advisors" on the calibre of Sébastien Laboureau and Martin Gerlier, the creators of Moonstar. Their job: scout for talent, promote emerging contemporaryartists and advise collectors – private or institutional- on their investments through the compilation and development of their collections. Today, Moonstar Agency has joined forces with the very promising Art+Shanghai Gallery and is now resolutely turned towards contemporary Chinese artists whose techniques and reputation have already been solidly established. A very explosive union, which is already a topic for conversation, from Miami to Shanghai, via Paris.



Contemporary Chinese art : a booming market



In Shanghai, Laurent Broda and his wife Chantal, collectors, both of them passionate about contemporary art and real pros at that, present contemporary Chinese artists who are especially outstanding and vibrant artistically. It is important to note that the contemporary art market in China is especially promising, during this time of a financial crisis, when investments for over-rated artists are out of the question. You must also realize that this market is nothing less than the third biggest contemporary art market in the world ! Today, prices are still reasonable, especially in consideration of the fact that the artists presented in the gallery already enjoy great celebrity. So it is true, we can get carried over by the passion Moonstar and Art+Shanghai share for contemporary Chinese art, all while optimising investments. Who could dream of anything better than that?
