NADINE WAGNER

GALLERY DIRECTOR

Nadine Wagner, the Director of Wagner Contemporary, and a second generation gallerist, is passionate about and committed to presenting exciting early career artists and high calibre solo exhibitions by established Australian artists on a monthly basis. Her vision follows a continuum of thought which has informed 20 years of gallery management and directorship. She opened a new contemporary art space in the Paddington Art Precinct in June, 2016.

Wagner Contemporary showcases a solo exhibition by an established or early career artist every month and regularly participates in art fairs (including Melbourne Art Fair, Sydney Contemporary, Head On Photo Festival and Art Month). Many of the Wagner artists have been placed in national, state and regional collections.
