Topical Cream Issue No. 1 Goes International at Art Basel Hong Kong.

Topical Cream was thrilled to be in Hong Kong with Topical Cream Issue No. 1, curated by 2025 Editor-in-Residence Lumi Tan.

Held from March 27th through 29th at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the fair brought together 240 galleries from 41 countries and territories, with a strong concentration from the Asia-Pacific region. Within this global framework, the Magazines sector offered a dedicated platform for leading international publications to create space for dialogue, discovery, and direct engagement with contemporary art discourse.

Topical Cream Issue No. 1 was displayed alongside a selection of influential titles, including Aesthetica Magazine, ARTnews, Canvas Magazine, Flash Art, Spike Art Magazine.

All copies of the issue, featuring a cover of Tan, were collected by the end of the first day—an early and enthusiastic response.

Thank you to Art Basel Hong Kong, for helping Topical Cream extends its commitment to championing diverse voices and critical dialogue, bringing its editorial vision into conversation with an increasingly international readership!!
