Nino Mier Gallery, a fast-expanding operation with spaces in Los Angeles, New York, and Brussels, underpaid some artists that it showed, according to a new investigation published by the Art Newspaper on Tuesday. Julia Halperin reports that documents dated to 2018 and 2019 show that some artists were underpaid by anywhere between 20 percent and 54 percent. Her article centered around transactions involving works by multiple artists, four of which were named: Jana Schröder, Andreas Breunig, Thomas Wachholz, and Louise Bonnet. Bonnet, a painter who showed at the 2022 Venice Biennale and is now represented by Gagosian and Galerie Max Hetzler, was the only one of the artists who commented to the Art Newspaper. She claimed that she lost out on around $4,000 during the purchase of one of her paintings through the gallery, and said, “It feels especially repulsive to be lied to, manipulated and robbed by someone whose business model relied entirely on making you believe that they cared about you as if you were ‘like family.’” Related Articles A Nino Mier representative …
