Taymour Grahne Projects is a Dubai-based contemporary art gallery. Alongside its physical exhibitions and a London office, it maintains an active online exhibition and art fair program.

Founded in 2013 by Taymour Grahne, the gallery has developed a reputation for identifying overlooked positions and supporting sustained artistic practices. After previously establishing spaces in New York’s Tribeca and London’s Holland Park/Notting Hill, the gallery’s Dubai flagship at Alserkal Avenue now acts as a platform for introducing international artists to the region while situating artists from the Middle East and its diasporas within a broader global discourse.

Taymour Grahne Projects works through long-term representation and close collaboration with a focused group of artists. The gallery is committed to developing sustained artistic practices through exhibitions, publications, institutional placements, and art fair presentations. Its program centers on painting-led practices and the vital intersections between the Global South and the West.

Taymour Grahne Projects has placed the works of its artists into major museum collections worldwide, including: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Guggenheim Museum, New York; The Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah; The Dalloul Art Foundation, Beirut; The British Museum, London; Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), California; Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi; The Nasher Museum of Art, Duke University, North Carolina; Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio; Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (MACAAL), Marrakech; and X Museum, Beijing, among others.

The gallery’s exhibitions, artists, and activities have been reviewed by major global publications including The New York Times, Frieze, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Whitewall, Financial Times, The Art Newspaper, Artnet News, AD Middle East, The National (UAE), GQ Middle East, and The Observer, among many others.
