Charles Ninow Gallery and Ralph Paine: Leaves from a Pillow Book w/ gallerist Charles Ninow: 13th December, 2024

Charles Ninow is a new gallery space that has recently opened at 102/203 Karangahape Road. 

Ninow is a dealer, auctioneer, and promoter of fine art in Aotearoa who draws inspiration from the first-principles approach of New Zealand’s earliest commercial galleries of the 1960s and 1970s, believing in the transformative power of art by committing to expanding its audience.

Ralph Paine: Leaves from a Pillow Book is Ninow’s first and opening exhibition in this new space, continuing on from some of the less well known artists and projects he worked on and championed at his former boutique gallery and auction house, Bowerbank Ninow. 

Sofia caught up with Charles about the new space and the exhibition by Paine.
