Helly Nahmad Gallery
It’s impossible for art collectors with a interest in impressionist and modern works to be unfamiliar with the legendary Nahmad name. Forbes has reported that the full Nahmad collection is likely worth upwards of £1.8 billion. The vast holdings are stored in a Geneva warehouse, said to contain close to 5,000 pieces, including 300 works by Picasso alone. The son of family patriarch David, Helly Nahmad, increased the family footprint in the art world by opening the Helly Nahmad Gallery in the posh Carlyle Hotel in 2000. The lovely gallery is renowned for putting on historic exhibitions equaling, and often surpassing, larger museum shows.
