About Us

Ken and Sherri Nahan

For 38 years we owned Nahan Galleries in New York, New Orleans and Tokyo. We represented many world renowned artists. We sold their paintings, published their graphics, distributed their art works worldwide, and acted as their agent, dealer and confidant.

The New Orleans Gallery, opened in 1960 and brought to the city one man exhibitions by many important International Artists.  These included cataloged shows for  Chagall, Miro, Hunderwasser, Rufino Tomayo, Henry Moore,  and many others.

We opened the New York Gallery in the 1980’s which was followed by the opening of the Tokyo Gallery.  We continued to exhibit works with many important one man shows by artists such as Picasso, Miro, Chagall, Le Corbusier, Olbinski, Halsman, Papart, Tobiasse, Coignard, DeMejo, Salemme, and many more.
