Mihai Nicodim opened his first gallery in 2006 in Los Angeles with a focus on exposing emerging and overlooked American, African, Asian, and European artists to an international audience. Nicodim opened a Bucharest gallery in 2014 and further expanded to open a New York gallery in 2021. The artists on the gallery's roster share a common interest in reassessing art history from an outsider's perspective and challenging its established framework. The gallery was the first to show Isabelle Albuquerque (United States), Liang Fu (China), Dominique Fung (Canada), Adrian Ghenie (Romania), Devin B. Johnson (United States), Ciprian Muresan (Romania), Katherina Olschbaur (Austria), and Moffat Takadiwa (Zimbabwe) in major solo exhibitions stateside, placing their works in important private and public collections, and helping their careers blossom into global prominence.
