What’s the name of this photography/art gallery in Marrakech?

Please help me track down this art gallery in Marrakech so I can get an awesome surprise birthday gift for my partner!

I was in Marrakech with my partner in October and while street wandering we looked inside a photography/art gallery. They had a photography exhibition and one of the photos was an incredible old masters-esque still-life style photo of the head of a goat. My partner loved it but it was expensive so we didn’t get it. I want to get it for them for their birthday as a surprise, but I can’t find any details of the gallery to call them up and ask to buy the print, or get in touch with the artist if they no longer represent him. How can I find the contact details of the gallery? Alternatively, does anyone know who this artist might be? I called up the hotel we stayed in and asked, but they weren’t able to help unfortunately. The price of some of the prints was in thousands so perhaps the artist was reasonably well known?

Here is a google pin.

My Christmas present for my partner was bit of a disaster so please help my birthday gift be an awesome one!

Best answer: I know exactly what gallery this is; I saw it last year before they opened as I was staying down the mews opposite at the Riad Trois Cours. I am leaving for Morocco on Tuesday and will spend the week on the coast, but I will be staying at that Riad again on 19 February. I arrive in the afternoon and will call in to the gallery for you, get their card and their email, and put you in touch. I can also have a look and see if that piece is still there, and ask them about it.

Response by poster: Wow - what a kind offer, thank you so much. Their birthday is February 7th but perhaps this could still be a wonderful surprise non-birthday present!

Best answer: Sorry, I typo'd the date. It's 21 January I'll be there, and I'll message you that day. Perhaps it will work out for your birthday target!
