Larry Gagosian opened his first gallery in Los Angeles in 1980, specializing in modern and contemporary art. In thirty years, Gagosian has evolved into a global network with nineteen exhibition spaces in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Geneva, Rome, Athens, Hong Kong, Basel and Gstaad. Gagosian’s vibrant contemporary program features the work of leading international artists. The gallery publishes scholarly exhibition catalogs and artist monographs, as well as catalogs raisonnés. Since 2012, an innovative and engaging magazine on the gallery’s art and artists has been published four times per year.
