In 1996 Mark Hachem opened his first contemporary art gallery in the heart of Paris, on the Place des Vosges. A second gallery followed eleven years later, when Hachem inaugurated his Madison Avenue location in New York.

Today the spotlight is on the down town of Beirut, where the latest addition to Mark Hachem’s triangle of galleries opened in June 2010.

Since the successful opening of the Beirut gallery, Mark Hachem’s engagement with the currents of the Middle Eastern and Asian market has increased and flourished. Over the past two decades the gallery has exposed prestigious artists and initially distinguished itself from other Parisian galleries by its interest in Kinetic art. Mark Hachem exhibits prestigious artists of the op art movement, such as Vaserely, Jesus- Rafael Soto, and Cruz Diez. It is now the combination of kinetic/op’art with art utilizing new technologies alongside Eastern art which sets Galerie Mark Hachem apart.

The gallery takes part in prestigious contemporary art fairs around the world, such as: Beijing, Chicago, London, Paris, Maastricht, New York, Miami, Palm Beach, Shanghai, Moscow, Dubai, Singapore, New Delhi and Istanbul. With more than 200 exhibitions to his credit, Mark Hachem Gallery has acquired a robust international reputation for its dynamism and professionalism.

An ardent defender of contemporary art, Mark Hachem is also an adviser to public institutions and private collectors.
