Introduction
Mai Gallery was the first private art gallery to burst onto Hanoi streets, late in 1993. The owner, Mai, is daughter of poet Duong Tuong, himself a revered pillar of Hanoi’s independent intellectual tradition. As such, Mai was imbued from an early age with the great currents of artistic thought that both Government and society have encouraged as expression of this great country’s long and passionate search for modern independence.
It was no surprise, that Mai Gallery should then burst forth. Rooted in proud intellectual tradition, surrounded by swirling contemporary currents of colour and debate, Mai was a natural complement to the scene. By providing a centre where language and visitors were international, Hanoi’s established artists beat a natural path. And it was here, at Mai Gallery, that some of the world’s first collections of Vietnamese art were first envisaged, and then assembled; a distinction that remains a source of pride today.
Followers of Vietnamese art are no longer rare, and indeed generations of artists have graduated since those early days; but Mai Gallery has lost none of its enthusiasm, perserverance, and courage. Today’s collectors need more than introductions; they need advice, knowledge and forewarning. The great profusion of contemporary art presents bewildering choice, and challenges of style. Artists and sculptors themselves need partnership, to avoid the pitfalls of short-term advantage, and to build a network of long-term followers. Mai Gallery sits comfortable and proud atop this flowering enigma – an enigma, in no small part, of its own creation.
