Nicole Henry Fine Art

Nicole Henry Fine Art is an art gallery based in West Palm Beach, Florida. Founded in 2006 by art dealer Nicole Henry, the gallery developed around a broad collecting program that combines emerging artists and contemporary practices with works from established and historical art movements. Its scope includes Cuban and Latin American art, Street Art, Pre-Columbian material, Old Masters, Impressionist works, Modern art, Contemporary art, and European and American art. Rather than presenting itself as a narrowly specialized single-artist or single-period dealership, the gallery operates across primary and secondary markets, bringing together new work, historically important objects, and works intended for private collectors and institutional-style audiences. Henry’s interest in Cuban art predates the gallery. After completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art History and Studio Art at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, she received a United States government treasury license in 2001 that allowed her to travel to Cuba and bring Cuban art back to the United States. She subsequently assembled a Cuban collection, creating the foundation for her later commercial activity. The gallery opened in 2006 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and its early programming included group exhibitions involving artists such as Nina Surel, Edouard Duval-Carrié, and Ismael Gomez-Peralta. During its first years, Nicole Henry Fine Art expanded its visibility through art fairs, regional group exhibitions, and shows focused on contemporary and Latin American artists. The gallery exhibited at Art Miami in 2007 and presented programs in Nantucket and South Florida. Its exhibition history also included Cuban contemporary artists, Latin American masters, modern and contemporary painting, and artists associated with Street Art and newer installation-based practices. Repeated participation in the PGA Tour Wives Show connected the gallery with a South Florida philanthropic and social-events circuit, while later presentations broadened its contemporary profile. In 2011, the gallery moved from Palm Beach Gardens to West Palm Beach, where it continued to operate. The relocation placed the business in the cultural and commercial environment of Palm Beach County and the wider South Florida art ecosystem. Subsequent programming included solo and group presentations of contemporary artists, including a 2013 solo exhibition for Max Zorn, a 2013 solo exhibition for Jacob Felländer, a 2016 solo exhibition for Bruce Helander, and a 2016 solo exhibition for Sean Yoro, also known as Hula. The gallery has also participated in projects outside a conventional gallery-room format. In 2015, it was associated with a rooftop mural installation at 1 Hotel South Beach involving Zeus and works by Jeremy Penn and Registered Artist, as well as with artists connected to the Canvas Outdoor Museum Show and Art Basel Miami Beach. These activities illustrate a programming strategy that links gallery representation and sales with public-facing murals, outdoor exhibitions, art-fair exposure, and collector events. Publicly available reference material does not provide detailed financial information, employee counts, a formal corporate structure, or a separate corporate website. The available record presents Nicole Henry Fine Art primarily as an independently identified gallery led by its founder and operating from West Palm Beach. Its distinguishing proposition is the combination of Cuban and Latin American expertise with a wide-ranging inventory spanning emerging contemporary work, Street Art, modern painting, historical European and American art, and selected secondary-market material.

Nicole Henry’s path into the art business began with formal study at Southern Methodist University, where she earned a BFA encompassing Art History and Studio Art. Her early professional focus developed around Cuban art. In 2001, the United States government granted Henry a treasury license permitting travel to Cuba and the importation of Cuban art into the United States. Through this activity she built a substantial Cuban collection and established the expertise that later shaped her gallery’s identity. Nicole Henry Fine Art opened in 2006 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Its first documented programming included a group exhibition featuring Nina Surel, Edouard Duval-Carrié, and Ismael Gomez-Peralta. The gallery’s subsequent schedule combined contemporary and Latin American exhibitions with participation in regional art events. In 2007, it exhibited at Art Miami and also presented a group show in Nantucket focused on important American painters. Exhibitions in 2008 and 2009 continued to develop the gallery’s Cuban, Latin American, contemporary, and modern-art offerings, including presentations of contemporary Cuban artists and Latin American masters. From 2009 through 2011, the gallery participated in the PGA Tour Wives Show on multiple occasions, alongside exhibitions involving Nina Surel, Carlos Jorge, Edouard Duval-Carrié, and other contemporary or modern painters. This period indicates an approach that combined gallery-based exhibitions with community, philanthropic, and collector-oriented events in the Palm Beach region. A major geographic change occurred in 2011, when the gallery relocated from Palm Beach Gardens to West Palm Beach. The new location became its continuing base. After the move, the program retained its Cuban and Latin American foundation while adding broader contemporary-art projects. Documented exhibitions included a 2012 contemporary group show, a 2012 presentation associated with Romero Britto, solo exhibitions for Max Zorn and Jacob Felländer in 2013, and later contemporary group exhibitions. The gallery’s 2015 activities demonstrated an expanding interest in public and outdoor art. It participated in a group show for artists connected with the Canvas Outdoor Museum Show and was associated with a rooftop mural installation at 1 Hotel South Beach involving Zeus, together with works by Jeremy Penn and Registered Artist. The same period connected the gallery’s activities with Art Basel Miami Beach and the wider South Florida art-fair calendar. In 2016, the gallery presented solo exhibitions for Bruce Helander and Sean Yoro, known professionally as Hula, reinforcing its engagement with contemporary and Street Art-related practices. Across its documented history, Nicole Henry Fine Art has maintained a deliberately wide collecting scope. Its program reaches from Pre-Columbian works and Old Masters to Impressionist, Modern, Contemporary, European, and American art, while Cuban and Latin American art remain especially prominent. The available reference record does not document later ownership changes, closure, public financial results, or a formal parent company. On the evidence available, the gallery remains an active West Palm Beach art business associated with its founder, Nicole Henry.
