World Art Awards: “This year we awarded art establishments with buildings hundreds of years old, presenting endless inventories of Old Master originals, placing works in top collections across the globe. We also selected new boundary-pushing art facilities with influential international presences in Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Santa Fe, Amsterdam, Seoul, Jakarta, Morocco, Philippines and Scandinavia.

“We opted for many high-rated private galleries in diverse countries and cultures representing important young work, from painting to digital to photography to sculpture. Most of these focus on advancing their regional artists.

“Our diversified roster this year includes a renovated Ukraine establishment, a center in Nigeria and family-owned venues in Slovenia and Zambia.

“We chose collector and tourist hotspots in Palm Springs, Denver, Myanmar, Cyprus and Hong Kong.

“We also selected the only gallery in Taiwan that has focused on the art of photography for over 15 years with high-ranking photographers from the region as well as from Germany, Britain, France, Poland, Japan, South Korea, USA and China.”
