From a global perspective, the hosting of art fairs has promoted the sustainable development of the world art market. In this developmental process, although China's art ecosystem took shape later than that of Europe and the United States, through the joint efforts of curators, art institutions, and artists, China has achieved remarkable results in the dimension of hosting contemporary art fairs, driving the country to become the world's second-largest art market. However, from the perspective of the influence of contemporary art fairs, there are still certain differences between Chinese art fairs and those in Europe and the United States. This paper conducts a comparative study on the influence of contemporary art fairs in Europe, America, and China from a global perspective, aiming to deeply explore the weaknesses and deficiencies of Chinese art fairs, draw on the experiences and strengths of European and American contemporary art fairs, and enhance the global influence of Chinese art fairs. This will contribute to a broader enhancement of China’s visibility and recognition on the world art stage.
