Mr. ICMEC LARRY GAGOSIAN and his choice in artwork.

https://thebigredapple.net/tag/gagosian-gallery/

We Call it ART! There are so many marvelous exhibits on view at the moment (or about to be unveiled) that I’m devoting a post to art in The Big Red Apple!

A startling outdoor exhibit that explores the horrors of sex trafficking is on view in Washington Sq. Park until Sunday. The exhibit, titled Journey, is designed to take “viewers through a range of emotions that sex slaves feel throughout their journey, ranging from hope to desperation.”

LARRY GARGOSIAN ROASTS A PIG FOR NIGHTLIFE ROYALTY http://brantwatch.com/post/38383777358/this-family-portrait-of-nightlife-royalty-was This ‘family portrait’ of nightlife royalty was snapped at the beachside barbeque during Art Basel hosted by Halliburton, in honor of Dick Cheney and the late Serbian arms dealer Sviclo Prvvv. Harry wears a black sweater that no one told him is from the bargain rack at UNIQLO. He’s seated next to Demi Moore, a one-time Brat Pack actress now known as an anti-sex trafficking activist and world-famous “sad cougar.” Peter II poses in a Timo Weiland “Zig-Zag Fantasia” shearling sweater, his arm around Princess Lalaloki, the supreme ruler of Swaziland, who wears a native doilee-dress stained with the pulp of laumai berries. (The individuals seated between Demi and Peter II are 'Sarah’ and 'Eddie,’ two reps from Red Bull, on hand to promote the new and ill-fated 'Red Bull Gives Those Who Already Have Wings Even Better Wings’ campaign. “Sarah and Eddie would not leave us the fuck alone,” Harry reportedly said. “Plus I know they’re hiding calories somewhere in that 'sugar-free’ swill.”) Later in the evening the group decamped to the beach where a 322-pound pig was roasted on a spit after being hand-rubbed with Dirty South barbeque sauce by Larry Gagosian. Harry ate thirteen breath mints during the course of the evening. Demi Moore was sighted crying, quietly and alone, behind a dune.

"One of Gagosian’s particular talents is conjuring complex, chesslike transactions that offer elements more enticing than cash." https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-art-of-larry-gagosians-empire-1461677075 "He lives with his girlfriend, Chrissie Erpf, a director in his New York gallery, and spends time with Erpf’s four children, saying he enjoys their “energy.”

2013 The Trials of Art Superdealer Larry Gagosian http://www.vulture.com/2013/01/art-superdealer-larry-gagosian.html Gagosian and Mugrabi are among the richest and most powerful figures in the art world, though the two function differently. Working primarily as a gallerist, Gagosian puts on exhibitions for several dozen artists and is responsible for building their careers—or, in the case of the deceased artists he also shows, representing their estates. Mugrabi, along with his father and brother, operates a private art dealership and trades with other collectors behind a cloak of relative obscurity. When collectors and dealers describe Gagosian as “brash,” “shameless,” and “ruthless”—his own publicist lauds him as “a real killer”

Why Wouldn't Marc Jacobs Have a Shirtless Wedding Cake? https://web.archive.org/web/20100210172032/http://gawker.com/5440668/why-wouldnt-marc-jacobs-have-a-shirtless-wedding-cake? We're starting to fall in love with Marc Jacobs' unabashed faggotry, including the shirtless wedding cake topper at his marriage ceremony in St. Bart's. That's why he and Lorenzo Martone have been on the beach so long, it's a honeymoon! Details are sketchy, but it seems the couple, engaged since March, were joined earlier this week, according to Stylexperts (via Guest of a Guest), at a private location and then had a dinner party hosted by art dealer Larry Gagosian. The only detail we really need is that on top of the cake is dashing Lorenzo in a tux and Jacobs shirtless, in all his tattooed glory. This is everything that conservatives fear about gay weddings, and we fucking love it! Congrats to the couple. Now, if only their "marriage" could become a legal marriage State-side.

Larry Gagosian & Peter Brandt interview.. full of nuggets. http://www.interviewmagazine.com/art/larry-gagosian#_ It's a part of the art business that remains a point of near-constant speculation, if only because it occurs largely behind the scenes and thus encourages debate as to who is selling what and why. But it's an area in which Gagosian—with his extensive network of contacts, deep well of resources, and uncanny ability to source and deliver hard-to-get pieces—has long been a dominant player, brokering deals that have been reported to reach nine figures for a single work.
