“As a born-and-raised Angeleno, I seek for my gallery to embody the creative spirit of Los Angeles and its rich artistic traditions,” Mulrooney told ARTnews in an email. “I’m eager to cultivate a space that fosters community and intergenerational dialogues, bringing together established and emerging artists to showcase not only their varied practices, but their curatorial visions as well.”

Nino Mier Gallery shuttered the LA spaces earlier this year after the Art Newspaper published a report accusing dealer Nino Mier of underpaying artists. The gallery subsequently said it would investigate the claims.

Then, not long afterward, Mier announced he would close his LA galleries, writing that the move was “a strategic business decision that has been under careful consideration for some time, and has nothing to do with recent media reports.” His gallery continues to operate spaces in New York and Brussels.
