Sam Wilson

Sam Wilson is the owner and founding director of Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. He co-founded the gallery with two fellow artists in 2004 in a small storefront space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Initially operating as a weekends-only project space, the gallery grew under the direction of its three owners into a full-time operation representing artists from across the United States and internationally. The gallery relocated to Manhattan in 2011, moving from the Lower East Side to Tribeca in 2022. Wilson’s background is in the studio arts. He holds a BFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and has taught courses at RISD and New York University. He has also served as a visiting critic and lecturer at colleges, universities, and residency programs throughout the United States.
