As an art historian focusing on the contemporary art market, I am very interested in the Moroccan contemporary art scene. In recent years, the contemporary art scene flourished internationally, with more and more high-profile art galleries and museums opening and local artists being recognised worldwide. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the post, I selected my favourite modern and contemporary art galleries, museums and institutions based in Marrakech.<\/p>\n

COMPTOIR DES MINES<\/h3>\n

Comptoir des Mines Galerie<\/a> is a contemporary art centre in Marrakech, Morocco. It aspires to work alongside the best artists on the continent, helping them carry out their projects and giving them the greatest possible visibility.<\/p>\n

Comptoir des Mines is also an innovative art gallery whose short-term ambition is to partake in the largest international events. The building was erected in 1932 by the Comptoir des Mines Company, which was known for selling construction equipment and explosives for mining research. With its Art Deco architecture, the building extends over two adjoining double-storey buildings. <\/p>\n

Gallery 127, founded in 2006 by Nathalie Locatelli; it\u2019s the only gallery in the Maghreb exclusively dedicated to contemporary photography.

I love this gallery because of its minimalist and open light-filled space and the organised exhibitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0The gallery was opened in 2010 by the Frenchman David Bloch, who developed a unique interest in Conceptual and Op art and other forms of new artistic expression. \u00a0 Artists have included Al\u00ebxone Dizac, Arne Quinze, Augustine Kofie and Carlos Mare, to mention a few.
