HdM Gallery is a leading international contemporary art gallery founded in Beijing in 2009. We represent artists across painting, sculpture, video, and installation, and have grown significantly over the past decade. The gallery recently expanded into a 500sqm space in Beijing and now operates internationally with locations in London (est. 2018) and Paris (project space est. 2022).
