1 week agoLarry Gagosian on his latest acquisition, a bookstore in the Hamptons
The front tables and shelves that once held paperback fiction now display thickly bound catalogues on artists such as Jenny Saville, Peter Beard, Willem de Kooning and Richard Prince. One series of Ed Ruscha catalogues is priced at $1,600. What do these offerings all have in common? The artists-or their estates-are represented by Gagosian Gallery, the other business of the bookstore's new owner, art world mogul Larry Gagosian.
