About the Gallery

Nino Mier Gallery is a contemporary art gallery with spaces in New York City, New York; and Brussels, Belgium. The gallery maintains a roster of established and emerging artists, predominantly focused on painting, but with an emphasis on sculpture and photography as well.

Nino Mier opened his first gallery in 2015, following a successful career as a private dealer and art advisor. Driven by a desire to work more closely with artists and foster their growth, Mier launched a 500-square-foot space in West Hollywood. His vision was to challenge the established norms of the Los Angeles art scene and introduce artists who were largely unknown in the city at the time.  

The inaugural exhibition featured Jan-Ole Schiemann, a promising young artist who, like Jana Schröder, Andreas Breunig, and Thomas Wachholz, studied at the renowned Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. These early exhibitions set the tone for the gallery, which quickly became known for showcasing emerging talent and artists with strong conceptual practices. Following the success of Schiemann’s debut, Mier continued to expand the gallery’s roster, adding artists such as Anke Weyer and André Butzer.

In January 2023, Mier opened a gallery in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, a 4,500 square-foot, ground-floor space designed by architect Markus Dochantschi of StudioMDA that marked Nino Mier Gallery’s New York debut. The SoHo gallery, a large and versatile exhibition space with high ceilings and iron columns original to the building, allowed Nino Mier Gallery to expand the scope of its exhibitions and to provide new opportunities to present a wider breadth of the gallery’s artists to different audiences. The gallery continues to focus on its program of painting, photography, and sculpture, while also having the space to feature larger-scale installations. In May 2023, Mier inaugurated his second New York space in the TriBeCa neighborhood with a solo exhibition of new photographs and sculptures by Finnish artist Iiu Susiraja.

Committed to finding and representing artists who have not yet found the platform they deserve, Mier has been instrumental in launching the careers of a number of young artists and creating global recognition for them over the course of just a few years. Mier gave first solo exhibitions to Louise Bonnet and Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, and has continued to bring greater attention to the work of Stephanie Temma Hier, Jake Longstreth, Rafa Macarrón, Nikki Maloof, Cindy Phenix, and Jansson Stegner among many others.

Nino Mier Gallery’s ambitious program provides balance for his artists, giving them diverse opportunities to exhibit in different locations, while also allowing them ample time between exhibitions to create new work. The gallery now represents artists from around the world, including the Estate of Georg Karl Pfahler, Jorge Galindo, Seyni Awa Camara, Joanne Greenbaum, Tony Matelli, and Nicola Tyson. Mier has placed works by these artists in major institutions from LACMA to the Whitney, SFMOMA and the Hirschhorn, among many others, and in seminal exhibitions from the Venice Biennale to the Whitney Biennial.
