About

Agial Art Gallery is a commercial gallery for modern and contemporary art from Lebanon and the Arab world, established in Beirut in 1990 and directed by Saleh Barakat. It occupies a street-level space at 63 Abdul Aziz Street in the Hamra district of Ras Beirut. In 2016 the gallery's founder opened a second, larger space, Saleh Barakat Gallery, in the former Cinema Clemenceau, and the two galleries share a website and roster.

The gallery shows established and emerging artists alongside retrospective exhibitions, is active on both the primary and secondary markets, and holds what it describes as a permanent collection offering a historical survey of Middle Eastern art. Beyond Beirut it takes part in art fairs, off-site projects and publications. Artists on the shared roster include Shafic Abboud, Saloua Raouda Choucair, Ayman Baalbaki, Abdul Rahman Katanani, Helen Khal and Nabil Nahas.
