About

Mark Hachem Gallery is a commercial gallery founded by Mark Hachem in the Marais in Paris in 1996. A second space followed on Madison Avenue in New York in 2007, and the Beirut gallery opened in 2010. The Beirut space is in the Capital Gardens Building on Salloum Street, Minet al-Hosn, in the city centre.

The gallery first became known in Paris for kinetic and Op art and continues to show artists such as Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jesús-Rafael Soto and Julio Le Parc, alongside modern and contemporary artists from the Arab world, including Paul Guiragossian, Hussein Madi, Helen Khal, Dia Azzawi, Nadim Karam and Chaouki Chamoun. It lists more than 300 exhibitions and takes part in fairs including Contemporary Istanbul, Art Cairo and Abu Dhabi Art.
