The Hong Kong gallery space will be in the Pedder Building in Central and launch with an exhibition by Yan Pei-Ming.
Massimo De Carlo gallery focuses on “creating a dialogue between globally acknowledged contemporary artists, young and promising talents and more classical masters from the 50s and the 60s”. The gallery actively promotes artists that play an important role in the international artistic scenery and works on establishing a vital dialogue between the artists and international institutions, encouraging relationships between galleries, critics, curators, and collectors.
Remarkable exhibitions by represented artists over the years include shows by Yan Pei Ming, Liu Xiaodong, Rudolf Stingel, Nate Lowman as well as post-war Italian artists such as Lucio Fontana, Enrico Castellani and Piero Manzoni among others.

Yan Pei-Ming, the first artist to be exhibited by the gallery, is a classic painter with an international background. A patron of the gallery, Pei-Ming has been partnering with Massimo De Carlo since 1998 and has exhibited at both the Milan and London galleries.
“It is fitting to have one of our dear friends and respected painters to be part of this crucial step of our journey. We are excited to launch his new series of works entitled ‘It Takes a Lifetime to Become Young’ which is an ode to the history of painting,” said De Carlo.
That exhibition will run until May 22.
