Nicole Klagsbrun

In 1989, Klagsbrun opened Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery at 59 Greene Street in SoHo, NY. The program continued to represent artists working in a variety of media including painting, sculpture, video, photography, installation, and assemblage. Klagsbrun organized Karen Kilimnik’s first exhibition in New York (1989), Candida Höfer’s first exhibition in the United States (1991), Bas Jan Ader’s first exhibition in New York (1994), and Rashid Johnson’s first gallery exhibition (2008), among many others. In addition, Klagsbrun mounted exhibitions of artists whose practices had been under-recognized in the New York art world, such as Wallace Berman, Jay DeFeo, John Giorno, and Cameron.
