— About the Charles Nodrum Gallery
The gallery offers artwork for sale on behalf of contemporary artists and artist’s estates. We also sell works of art on the secondary market on behalf of private collectors and vendors. Three themed group exhibitions are presented each year which bring together these strands:
‘Abstraction’ focuses on the abstract art movements from the 1950s to the present;
‘Modern Australian Painting’ includes representational painting and sculpture;
and ‘Works on Paper’ in an annual exhibition running from December to February.
Charles Nodrum worked at the Joseph Brown Gallery (1971-5), managed Christie's Melbourne office (1975-8), and assisted Alan McCulloch in the 1984 edition of the Encyclopaedia of Australian Art before opening this gallery.
Kate Nodrum has been at the gallery since 2010. She completed a Bachelor of Arts at Melbourne University (French, History and Art History) in 2012 and in 2016 she completed a short course in Museum Studies at the Sotheby's Institute in London. She is now Gallery Manager.

Advice
The gallery can offer advice on restoration, framing, transport, art installation and hanging. We also offer advice on collection policy and management (large or small). This will include discussion of the overall curatorial direction and will extend to the placing and hanging of specific works of art. We have long and sound experience in presenting paintings and sculpture of varying periods and styles in a coherent and satisfying way, to maximise the artistic coherence of the collection as a whole.
