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 expanded to an additional location in New York 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 Adrian Ghenie (Romania), Ciprian Muresan (Romania), Thania Petersen (South Africa), 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. Other notable artists who have shown with Nicodim early in their careers include Isabelle Albuquerque, Michiel Ceulers, Dominique Fung, Devin B. Johnson, Kris Lemsalu, Larry Madrigal, Oscar Murillo, Eddie Peake, Mosie Romney, Max Hooper Schneider, Moffat Takadiwa, Jorge Peris, Anna Uddenberg, Ambera Wellmann, Hugo Wilson, and Zhou Yilun. The gallery maintains relationships with prominent institutions and has in the past year placed works by the gallery’s artists in the collections of Denver Art Museum, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Studio Museum in Harlem, amongst others. In the upcoming year, Nicodim will present exhibitions by Ángeles Agrela, Devin B. Johnson, Joshua Hagler, Nicola Samorí, Tali Lennox, and Yoora Lee.
