In 2000, Bartholdi’s Liberty holds out her arms. Larry sets sail for London,
rst to Heddon Street, then in 2004 to Britannia Street. Larry Gagosian’s
artistic roaming can’t stop there: Rome, Paris, Athens, and Moscow.
Frontiers do not exist for the Gagosian Gallery, and it is only the rage
of art that counts.
Paris is ours! At the Gagosian, 4, rue de Ponthieu, Paris:
Pliage/Fold
,
(February 28 to April 17, 2014): a collective exposition including,
notably, Tauba Auerbach, Davide Balula, Cesar, Sol Lewitt, Jack Pierson,
Robert Rauschenberg, and Rachel Whiteread. “
Folding-unfolding no
longer simply means tension-release, contraction-dilation, but enveloping-
developing, involution-evolution

“
I do not believe in art as representation. My work belongs to reality,
it is affected by reality

800, avenue de l’Europe (January 28 to July 19, 2014):

. Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons…seven artists in all,
seven Americans who milked their souls to live through stunning mediums.
A few months later… Do not hesitate to “infuse” yourself with one of the
phenomenal arteries of contemporary art. The red blood cells of vitality
remain a total mystery, but a providential mystery!
In the hope that the Gagosian Gallery continues to extend and exhibit
the un nished backbone of the consecrated and immortal -- Picasso,
Bacon, Giacometti -- all the while af rming the sweet dreamers or radical
detractors of the system of life leading towards another aesthetic, another
ethic, another truth. And hasn’t the invisible man of art forcefully
embarked on this itinerary, through the experimental, innovative and
exploratory shop of Madison Avenue?
