Hillel "Helly" Nahmad (born 23 November 1976) is an independent British art dealer.
Hillel "Helly" Nahmad was born in November 1976, the son of the art dealer Ezra Nahmad. He attended St Paul's School, before reading History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art. In 1997, he had Italian nationality.
In 1998 Nahmad founded an eponymous modern art gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair, specialising in works by Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, René Magritte, Kasimir Malevich and Joan Miró among others. This gallery is not to be confused with a different gallery of the same name based in New York, opened by another Nelly Nahmad, his cousin and the son of his uncle David, and which operates as a completely separate entity. Nahmad is a frequent commentator on the art market.
In 2011 Nahmad organised and curated the first ever exhibition of highlights from the Nahmad Collection at Kunsthaus Zurich. The exhibition comprised over 100 masterpieces by artists from the Impressionist, Surrealist and Cubist movements, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-August Renoir, Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Rene Magritte, Max Ernst, Joan Miro, and George Braque. Works displayed included those which have been in his family collection for decades, and which have rarely been exhibited in public before. Nahmad spoke about the exhibition to Jackie Wullschlager for Lunch with the FT.
