Gagosian Opens a New Ground-Floor Flagship at 980 Madison Avenue with Duchamp-Rauschenberg Double Header

Gagosian is opening a new ground-floor flagship gallery at 980 Madison Avenue in New York, moving from its former upper-floor space in the same building. Designed by Caplan Colaku Architects, the 12,000-square-foot, two-level space consolidates three storefronts into a continuous layout with restrained materials like Portland Taupe stone and brushed stainless steel. The inaugural exhibition pairs a major Marcel Duchamp show with six early works by Robert Rauschenberg on loan from the Cy Twombly Foundation, coinciding with a Duchamp retrospective at MoMA and referencing a 1965 Duchamp exhibition held in the same building.

This Long Beach Art Gallery Survived a Drunk Driver. But The Next Threat Could Mean Its End.

A drunk driver crashed into Open Gallery in Long Beach on February 24, 2024, destroying the space and nearly killing a family. Owners Liz Garibaldi and Artos Saucedo spent a year renovating and recovering, reopening the gift shop in April 2025 and rescheduling programming. However, the building owner now plans to sell, threatening the gallery's future. The space, founded in 2019 as a live-work screen printing hub, has grown into a multi-unit gallery supporting musicians and visual artists. Its current exhibition, "Physical Memory," curated by Matthew “NORDY” Nordman, is the gallery's first photography show.
