Why this gallery matters

Exhibo editorial

11 Brazil Street, a few doors from Safarkhan. Zamalek Art Gallery opened in 1999 and built its name on the generation that made modern Egyptian art: Gamal El-Sagini, whose centenary it staged in 2017 together with the Mahmoud Mokhtar Museum; Gazbia Sirry, whose last retrospective it hung a year earlier; Farouk Hosni; Nazli Madkour, with a forty-year survey. Two rooms, two shows a month — established names in one, new talent in the annex. The other half of the business is advisory: private homes from Cairo to London, hotel collections such as Le Méridien Pyramids. It is the gallery a Cairo hotel calls when it wants its walls to look like Egypt. It is also where you see the pioneers without museum glass.
