Larry Gagosian turned 80 on Saturday, and the art world marked the occasion with two blockbuster exhibitions: a de Kooning show in Chelsea and a Picasso exhibition uptown, curated by Paloma Picasso. This edition of Wet Paint, an Artnet News gossip column by Annie Armstrong, celebrates Gagosian's lesser-known talent for delivering memorable quotes to journalists, despite his legendary elusiveness. The article catalogs some of his most striking lines, including a menacing comment to an employee after the 2008 crash, a Bond-villain-style text to artist Issy Wood, and a six-word response to Jeff Koons leaving for Pace Gallery.

Artist Gabriel de la Mora, now 57, reflects on how his childhood dyslexia and autism shaped his artistic practice in an interview tied to his latest exhibition "Repeated Original" at Perrotin in New York, on view through April 11. The show features meticulous geometric works made from fragmented eggshells and curved reflective glass, with each piece titled after the exact number of fragments used. De la Mora sources eggshells from Mexico City restaurants and churches that serve free meals, and he recently closed a major career survey at Museo Jumex, where he led 79 guided tours over six months, including for deaf children.
