Agial Art Gallery is one of Beirut's most important galleries, founded in 1990 in the Hamra district. Under Saleh Barakat, it has become a leading reference for modern and contemporary art from Lebanon and the Arab world.
Established in 1990 by Saleh Barakat, Agial Art Gallery has played a defining role in documenting and promoting Lebanese and Arab modernism. Its programme spans the pioneers of the twentieth century alongside leading contemporary artists, and its archive is among the most respected in the region.
Barakat, who also runs the larger Saleh Barakat Gallery in Beirut, is one of the Arab art world's most influential dealers and scholars. Agial remains an essential stop for collectors of modern Arab art.
