Taymour Grahne Projects

Online Exclusive

Taymour Grahne Projects is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2013, with a space in Dubai’s Alserkal Avenue, a London office, and an active programme spanning exhibitions, art fairs, and online presentations. The gallery works through sustained, close collaborations with artists, structured around a project-led approach. Rather than operating through a fixed roster model, its programme is shaped by the specific needs and ambitions of each collaboration, allowing for a more fluid and responsive approach to exhibition-making. Formed over more than a decade across earlier spaces in New York’s Tribeca and London’s Holland Park and Notting Hill, this model remains central to the gallery’s identity today.
Taymour Grahne Projects centres on painting-led practices and artists working across and between the Global South and the West - particularly those whose work reflects layered geographies, diasporic histories, and shifting cultural contexts. The gallery introduces international artists to the region while contributing to broader institutional and critical conversations around practices unfolding across the Middle East and its diasporas.
The gallery has developed a reputation for identifying and supporting artists at pivotal moments in their careers, often presenting their work to new audiences and contexts for the first time. This has included early presentations of artists who have since gained significant international recognition, alongside collaborations with established and historically important figures. Over the years, Taymour Grahne Projects has worked with and exhibited a wide range of leading contemporary artists, including Francesca Mollett, Roudhah Al Mazrouei, Dominique Fung, Aubrey Levinthal, GaHee Park, Nadia Ayari, Maia Cruz Palileo, Daniele Genadry, John Dilg, Sikelela Owen, Zineb Sedira, Mohamed Melehi, Gail Spaien, Anika Roach, Tidawhitney Lek, and Lamia Joreige, among many others.
The gallery has placed works into major museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The British Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Barjeel Art Foundation, Dalloul Art Foundation, Nasher Museum of Art, Columbus Museum of Art, MACAAL, and X Museum, among others. Its programme and artists have been featured in The New York Times, Frieze, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Financial Times, The Art Newspaper, Artnet News, and The Observer. Taymour Grahne Projects is a member of The Society of London Art Dealers.
