Curatorial Ethos
The gallery aims to connect art to the people and people to art, serving as a pioneering exhibit venue that brings a variety of schools, styles, and techniques into one hall. It focuses on representing the most renowned artists in Egypt and expanding its services within the spirit of cultural community and richness.
Picasso Art Gallery is a leading fine art gallery in Cairo, Egypt, established in 1996 by Ibrahim Mohamed Abdelrahman. Located in Zamalek, it has served as an estimable center for dynamic and refined artwork for over two decades, connecting renowned Egyptian artists with audiences. The gallery maintains an extensive network of prominent local talent and actively participates in international art fairs such as Abu Dhabi Art Fair and MENART.
Why this gallery matters
Exhibo editorial
Hassan Assem Street, just off Brazil Street — two halls and a private showroom where the founder, Ibrahim Mohamed Abdel Rahman, still likes to tell stories. He opened in 1996, when most of Cairo's exhibition halls belonged to the state; Hussein Bicar gave the gallery its name. What followed is a long relationship with the modern generation: Bicar himself, Omar El Nagdi, Inji Aflatoun among the stories, Adel El Siwi among the shows. Today his daughter Nagwa Ibrahim curates, and the big group exhibitions — Picasso Collection, now past its seventeenth edition — still hang huge canvases wall to wall. Old Zamalek, in the best sense.
