Nahmad Contemporary

About the Gallery
Founded in 2013, Nahmad Contemporary is dedicated to the presentation of innovative, historically focused exhibitions. The gallery specializes in leading Contemporary artists who rose to prominence during the 1980s, and a selection of Modern masters from the 20th century. The scope of Nahmad Contemporary’s program includes exhibitions that historicize Contemporary artists by illuminating a distinct series, medium, or focus within their oeuvre. Additionally, the gallery features Modern masters to inspire contemporary perspectives on particular works from their canon.

About the Presentation
Nahmad Contemporary and Skarstedt will bring together a curated selection of works by French artist Georges Rouault, a remarkable figure of 20th-century Modernism whose work resonates in this moment. A contemporary of Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism, Rouault never formally associated with any of these movements. Often considered a religious painter, he expressed the spiritual and moral dimensions of human experience through a unique visual language that recalls stained glass, with luminous colors defined by thick black outlines.
