Company history

In 1966, when I decided to open the art gallery that would bear my name, I had accumulated years of experience in selling art, in a well known and prestigious department store in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Early on, I began collecting and as my aesthetic taste was developing, I came to realize that works of art, unlike precision watches and fine porcelain, has a life of their own and therefore should be dealt with in other ways. 

There were very few galleries in Haiti at the time. Paintings were then mostly sold in souvenir shops along side handicrafts. With a very personal and innovative approach, I went all the way to reestablish this art's prestige. Not only did I show the finest but more over, I looked to make public opinion more aware of the evolution of Haitian art and its ever increasing importance worldwide. I did so with the support of the press, through publications and through regularly scheduled exhibitions. My efforts very soon paid off. Haitian art that for the most part was exported, began developing a local clientele. With time, this clientele grew in number and , by the late seventies, Haitian collectors practically dominated the market. Haitian and foreign collectors alike have since relied on my reputation and my integrity. Regularly, they sought my advise to guide them in the collecting process.

Expanding rapidly, my Galerie needed to have branches outside of Port-au-Prince. The involvement of my family soon allowed the opening of annexes in Jacmel (south-east of Port-au-Prince), in Petion ville (a suburb of Port-au-Prince), In Santo Domingo R.D., in New York and in Miami. the name Nader justly became closely associated with Haitian art.
