O Nicholas! Alas! Alas!
My grandfather coughed in your army,
Hid in a wine-stinking barrel,
For three days in Bucharest
Then left for America
To become a king himself.
— from “The Ballad of the Children of the Czar,” Delmore Schwartz, 1938
Mihai Nicodim defected from Romania to the United States in 1983 and opened his first gallery in 2006. In 2013, he expanded his program to include a new space in Bucharest, the city in which he was born and raised. The Ballad of the Children of the Czar continues the Bucharest gallery’s tradition of summer group exhibitions celebrating Nicodim’s international roster of artists and the transience of identity itself. Inevitably, if a group of people stick around long enough, every new frontier will become known to some future generation as “the old country.”
