The first exhibition, Egon Schiele, Women, opened in May 2011 to universal acclaim. Since then, he stages one museum-quality exhibition a year, which in the past has included The Silverman Collection  – a single-owner group of outstanding Austrian and German Expressionist works – and George Groz, Berlin, Prostitutes, Politicians and Profiteers.

Apart from handling masters of the Modernist canon, Nagy has specialized in the work of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt since 1984. His gallery also focuses on German Expressionism: Die Brücke (The Bridge), Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) and Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity); as well as more recent British artists of a related sensibility, such as Stanley Spencer, Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. In addition, Symbolist artists – Odilon Redon, James Ensor and Alfred Kubin – are frequently available.

Nagy’s interest in Viennese culture came through his Hungarian grandparents, who took Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop) furniture and decorative arts with them when they emigrated to Australia in 1938. His paternal family was originally from Budapest, at a time when it was the second capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, along with Vienna. Nagy’s father was born in 1918 – just days before the fall of the Empire.

In 1976, Nagy left Sydney with a degree in Archaeology and History of Art to pursue a career in the London art world. He enrolled in the Sotheby’s Works of Art Course the following year, and after completing the programme he began dealing in Old Master paintings. Quickly realizing that the availability of high quality works was rapidly diminishing in the field, he switched his commercial focus to Modernism in the mid 1980s, focusing specifically on artists from Germany and Austria.

Nagy participates regularly in art fairs throughout Europe and the USA, including: The International Fine Art & Antique Fair, New York, from 1998 to 2004; TEFAF , Maastricht, since 2001; Art Basel  Basel, since 2005; Biennale des Antiquaires, Paris, from 2006 to 2010; Pavillon of Art & Design, London, from 2009 to 2013;Pavillon of Art & Design, New York, in 2011; Salon du Dessin, Paris, in 2012; The Salon: Art and Design, New York, since 2013, and FRIEZE Masters, London, since 2015.
