Meet the Business Owner
Larry G.
Business Owner
Larry Gagosian graduated from UCLA in 1969 with a degree in English Literature. In 1980 he opened a gallery in Los Angeles for modern and contemporary art. Five years later, he expanded his activities to New York, inaugurating his first Chelsea gallery with an exhibition of works from the Pop art collection of Emily and Burton Tremaine. From 1989 – 1996 he owned a gallery at 65 Thompson Street in Soho with the renowned dealer Leo Castelli, where they showed Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Bruce Nauman, and other leading artists of the post-war generation.
Larry Gagosian is a benefactor of museums and arts organizations worldwide, and has provided instrumental support to many institutional exhibitions and artist projects, including the magnificent Ceiling by Cy Twombly in the Salle des Bronzes at the Musée du Louvre, a permanent commission that was unveiled to the public in 2010.
