If you still haven’t seen this, there’s still time to catch the Andy Warhol exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, running until 31 March. The exhibition marks the 25th anniversary of Warhol’s death and is part of an Asia wide tour, heading next to Shanghai, Beijing and Tokyo. The exhibition charts the artist’s evolving works from the 1950’s through to the 1980’s. There’s an extensive range of both well-known and rarely seen pieces, from the iconic pop art images of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s Soup to the more unusual photo-booth series and Time Capsule exhibit. Film production was another significant aspect of Warhol’s career, with screenings of his avant-garde films also being shown at the exhibition and lecture hall. The Andy Warhol, 15 Minutes Eternal Exhibition is open from 16 December 2012 until 31 March 2013 at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. By Claire Johnson

This week sees the opening of the ‘My Space’ exhibition, featuring two local artists, Wong Kai Kin and David Smith. Both artists work on a relatively small scale and show an interesting contrast in their artworks. Wong uses the compact canvas to focus on tightly constructed views of apartments, whereas Smith depicts expansive subjects with intimacy. The exhibition opens on Thursday 7th February at Amelia Johnson Contemporary. RAW will be at the opening to speak to the artists and bring you our favourite pieces from the collections. The ‘My Space’ exhibition runs from the 7 February to 1 March at the Amelia Johnson Contemporary. Amelia Johnson Contemporary, G/F, 6-10 Shin Hing Street, Central, Hong Kong By Claire Johnson
