about

Founded in 1989 by Nara Roesler, the gallery that bears her name has established itself as one of Brazil's leading contemporary art galleries. It is recognized for playing a fundamental role in promoting, consolidating, and internationalizing its artists. Based in São Paulo, it expanded its program to Rio de Janeiro in 2014 and became the first Brazilian gallery to establish an international presence by opening a space in New York in 2015, reinforcing its commitment to spreading Brazilian art on the global stage. In 2011, Nara Roesler created the Association for Contemporary Patronage – APC, now Nara Roesler Books, a pioneering publishing initiative that produces original and carefully crafted publications, fostering critical thinking around contemporary artistic practices in Brazil.

Throughout its trajectory, Nara Roesler has made significant contributions to the development of its artists' careers, providing continuous support and prominent platforms for the presentation of their works, and including them in important institutions and in significant private collections, both in Brazil and abroad. Its program includes renowned names such as Abraham Palatnik, Amelia Toledo, Antonio Dias, Artur Lescher, Daniel Buren, Heinz Mack, Julio Le Parc, Lucia Koch, Tomie Ohtake, and Vik Muniz, alongside a new generation of established artists, such as André Griffo, Bruno Dunley, Jaime Lauriano, Jonathas de Andrade, and JR. Its platform for curatorial initiatives, the Nara Roesler Curatorial Project, has consistently fostered curatorial research and practice through collaborations with both established and emerging curators and artists.
