'I'd Say Our Timing Is Perfect': Why Veteran Art Advisor and Dealer Nicola Vassell Is Opening Her First Gallery in New Y

Nicola Vassell has been a leading tastemaker in the New York art world for more than a decade. She’s held director roles at Pace Gallery and Deitch Projects, and helped music producer Swizz Beatz and his wife, Alicia Keys, build a world-class art collection and an art fair, No Commissions, where artists take home 100 percent of their sales.

Now, the curator, writer, and art advisor is at last opening her own gallery.
