This piece of land and the original building on it were the property owned by the Hengtong Machinery Co., Ltd., founded in 1954 and relocated to Dashi Township, Taoyuan County in 1971. Tseng Li-Hsiang, a family member of the owner, repurposed this building and founded the Main Trend Gallery in collaboration with Yeh Ming-Hsun, Huang Ming-Che, and Wang Fu-Tung.

│2010-
The gallery space was renovated in 2010. In addition to upgrading relevant hardware, the administrative area and work area were separated from the exhibition venue. The upgraded space has served as the main exhibition venue of the gallery ever since.
Approaching its 20th anniversary, the Main Trend Gallery successively established two spaces for online display and retail, namely the m space and the M Show. Our long-term cultivation and special expertise in the contemporary art scene, coupled with our current online service, find expression in the complete, reliable information offered by the two online spaces about the collection and purchase of the works for sale, which manifests our genuine agenda for facilitating the exchange, collection and purchase of works of contemporary art. We cordially invite you to visit us and browse our website.
