Nino Mier Gallery, which was based in Los Angeles in 2015 and has rapidly been rising over the previous seven years, will quickly add a location in New York.

Opening subsequent January, the area will probably be inaugurated with a solo present of German artist Jana Schröder, who has been with the gallery since its earliest days. The New York location, situated in SoHo, on Crosby Avenue between Spring and Broome streets, will probably be designed by Markus Dochantschi of StudioMDA and led by Margaret Zuckerman, who has been a director on the gallery since 2018.

In lower than a decade, vendor Nino Mier has expanded at a quick clip. He at the moment operates 5 places in L.A., comprised of a campus of 4 buildings in West Hollywood and a separate location in Glassell Park, in addition to a six-story townhouse and annex in Brussels and a venture area in Marfa, Texas.

However for Mier, New York has at all times been a part of the long-term plan.

“I feel it was inevitable,” Mier instructed ARTnews in a current interview. “New York is the middle of the artwork world, so it was at all times on my thoughts. This provides me the chance to situate myself not solely within the heart of the artwork world however between my different areas and different artwork markets.”

Along with being a mid-point between his West Coast and European areas, Mier stated he sees the New York area as one the place he can mount “extra bold programming” like larger-scale installations than he can at the moment do in Los Angeles or Brussels. After Schröder’s exhibition, solo reveals on the New York area are deliberate for André Butzer, Seyni Awa Camara, and Kareem-Anthony Ferreira.

Moreover, he desires it to be a spot for the artists he represents that don’t at the moment have New York galleries to have the ability to present their work there, in addition to for different artists not at the moment on the roster to point out in New York. The gallery at the moment represents some 40 artists, together with Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, José Lerma, Mindy Shapero, Nicola Tyson, and the property of William N. Copley.

“I need to give the artists I signify, with all of the areas I’ve, the alternatives to showcase their work in numerous venues, from a small gallery to a big gallery, and in numerous areas,” Mier stated. “New York appears like a possibility to develop not simply as a gallery however to develop for the artists and to additional develop this system.”

Although SoHo was New York’s most important gallery neighborhood by the mid-’70s, the neighborhood ultimately was taken over by luxurious retailers and galleries quickly decamped to Chelsea. Extra just lately, galleries which have left Chelsea have opened up store in Tribeca and the Higher East Aspect.

“SoHo to me due to its wealthy historical past and previous was at all times behind my thoughts because the place to be in New York,” Mier stated. “I at all times noticed myself in SoHo. I like the areas you’re capable of finding there with cast-iron facades. I like that there’s a whole lot of exercise within the space—there’s at all times folks in SoHo.”

And it was in the end this particular area, which has 20-foot ceilings and is bathed with pure mild, and its location inside SoHo that offered him. “Crosby Avenue was one of many streets I hoped for due to its cobblestone,” he stated. “It’s a quiet avenue. You flip off of Spring, and it adjustments. The sunshine is gorgeous. The sound of vehicles driving on cobblestone is totally different. There’s a romance to that avenue to me.”

Mier added, “I feel there’s an opportunity that I’m not the one one that may return to SoHo.”
