David Nolan is an Irish gallerist who specializes in modern and contemporary art. Nolan began his career in 1980 at Michael Werner Gallery, Cologne, and moved to New York in 1983 to work with Ileana Sonnabend. In 1987 he opened David Nolan Gallery, juxtaposing work made in a variety of media by international artists from different generations and cultures, as well as mounting tightly-curated historical exhibitions. The gallery represents contemporary artists as they build their careers along with mature late-career artists and a number of estates; mounts up to 8 exhibitions per year, frequently accompanied by scholarly monographs; and participates in international art fairs.
