About Gary Nader
Gary Nader is an art dealer, collector and founder of Gary Nader Art Centre in Miami. For more than four decades, he has championed Latin American art within the wider history of modern and contemporary art, working with artists, collectors and institutions to expand its international recognition.
Based in Miami since 1985, Nader has developed a private collection and an exhibition program that bring modern masters and contemporary voices into dialogue. His work has contributed to the city’s growth as an international destination for art and collecting.
Through exhibitions, publications and close relationships with artists, Nader has combined the work of a gallerist with a commitment to research and cultural exchange. His longstanding engagement with Fernando Botero and other major Latin American artists is central to that trajectory.
His vision also encompasses Nader Museum, Botero Immersed and Nader Sculpture Park. Together, these initiatives create different ways to encounter art, from the study and presentation of his private collection to immersive experiences and monumental sculpture in the public realm.
