To sell or not to sell? That's the question for Larry Gagosian. 🤝💰
At one point, Keefe puts Gagosian’s record of selling to oligarchs under the microscope. Keefe notes that Gagosian’s past clients have included Roman Abramovich, a collector who has been sanctioned in the EU, and notes that, in the 2000s, the mega-gallery made attempts to court others like him, even once mounting an exhibition in a former chocolate factory in Moscow.
Gagosian notes that “everybody” sold to oligarchs back in the 2000s, from other major dealers to auction houses. But what are the limits to Gagosian’s ethics? “If the money is correct, if the transaction is correct, I’m not going to be a moral judge,” Gagosian told Many other anecdotes throughout are offered in an attempt to shed light on how Gagosian conducts his business. There’s a portion about how the gallery’s directors operate.
One of the most in-depth anecdotes comes from artist Issy Wood, a young painter who has previously said on the record that Gagosian had attempted to add her to his stable before she declined. Wood provides Keefe with a thorough recounting of how those talks allegedly went down.
