Nailya Alexander Gallery is located in the renowned New York Gallery Building on 57th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. Nailya Alexander opened her gallery in 2004 after being a private dealer for seven years.

Nailya Alexander Gallery specializes in Soviet (1930s-1960s) and contemporary photography. The gallery’s focus has been the rediscovery of lesser known, significant periods and artists in the history of photography, dedication to gallery artists and support of emerging talent. Nailya Alexander represents the Arkady Shaikhet and Max Penson Estates. In recent years the gallery explored the power of contemporary photojournalism with exhibitions like Lori Grinker’s AFTERWAR: Veterans from a World in Conflict (2005), a group show Apocalypse: Contemporary Visions (2007), and IRAQ: Scars & Exile, Grinker’s recent photographic journey. Nailya Alexander Gallery has mounted museum quality exhibitions such as Staging Happiness: The Formation of Socialist Realist Photography (2004), Remembering WW II (2005) and Alexander Zhitomirsky: Photomontages 1931-1973 (2005). Gallery exhibitions have been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New York Sun, ARTnews and Art in America. Gallery artists have gained critical acclaim and international recognition, and are included in the collections of major European and US museums.

Nailya Alexander is a member of the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). Her gallery participates in the annual AIPAD Photography Show in New York City.
