For more than twenty years, David Nolan Gallery has played an important role in presenting an international roster of artists who represent the forefront of cutting edge art. Founded in 1987 at 560 Broadway in the midst of a thriving downtown art scene, the gallery’s original mission was to exhibit contemporary works on paper by American and European artists. The gallery was the first US gallery to organize solo exhibitions of works on paper by Dieter Roth, Arnulf Rainer, Hermann Nitsch, Sigmar Poke, Martin Kippenberger, Carroll Dunham, Mel Bochner and Martin Kippenberger among others. The success of Nolan’s drawing shows brought a new critical focus on medium among collectors and museum institutions. Over time, the program expanded to include artists who work in multiple mediums and originate from all ends of the global art world.

In 2008, David Nolan and Juerg Judin established Nolan Judin Berlin on Heidestrasse in Berlin’s Mitte district. The gallery opened with an exhibition of sculptures and wall works by the Scottish artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, followed by solo exhibitions of Adrian Ghenie, Uwe Wittwer, and George Grosz.
