Sfeir-Semler opened the Beirut arm of her gallery in April 2005, after running a blue-chip gallery by the same name in Kiel and subsequently Hamburg, where it remains today. Sfeir-Semler decided to step in during the war and create a commercial Contemporary art gallery that, in her words, “would represent artists I believe in, defend them worldwide, and represent them worldwide.” Opening a gallery in Beirut, says Sfeir-Semler, was a conscious decision “to give a gift to my country, or to go back to my roots.”
