1987年創立於義大利米蘭的Massimo De Carlo 畫廊（簡稱MDC畫廊），始終緊密維繫於自義大利出發、輻射歐美的藝術市場脈動，為了回應高速發展的美國市場，畫廊於2009 年首度跨出本土、落腳倫敦，也開始積極關注美國年輕藝術家的創作。

It has continued to participate in Art Basel Hong Kong in 2013 and Massimo De Carlo gallery officially opened its Hong Kong space in 2016. Furthermore, its Beijing office was established recently. The gallery founder Massimo De Carlo also served in the selection committees for Art Basel Hong Kong on several occasions. Massimo De Carlo Gallery represents artists working in a more variety of mediums and disciplines from Maurizio Cattelan, George Condo, Yan Pei- Ming, Liu Xiaodong, Lee Kit and many other European, American, and Asian artists who receive global recognition.
