roberta smith interviews larry gagosian 1234753471

Roberta Smith, the former New York Times co-chief art critic, interviews Larry Gagosian, the world's most famous art dealer, for Numero magazine. The conversation covers Gagosian's hands-on management of his 18 galleries, his admission of mistakes in closing locations in San Francisco and Geneva, and his view of his galleries as tryout spaces akin to off-Broadway. Gagosian shares anecdotes about his first Picasso purchase at Sotheby's for $900,000 (now worth $40 million), his early shows featuring David Salle and Warhol's Oxidation paintings, and his regret over selling Eli Broad's Basquiat skull painting for $80,000. Smith recalls attending Gagosian's first New York show in the 1970s, and the two reflect on their long, distant acquaintance.

walter swennen dead 1234749496

Walter Swennen, a Belgian artist who began his career as a poet before turning to painting, has died at age 79. His death was announced by his gallery, Xavier Hufkens, without specifying a cause. Swennen was known for his playful, language-infused paintings that combined cryptic phrases, comic-book-like figures, and unconventional materials such as found wood and metal. He rose to prominence in Belgium alongside other painters interested in materiality, but his work stood out for its freewheeling humor and destabilization of meaning. A major retrospective at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels in 2013 helped revive his career, leading to later shows at Gladstone Gallery in New York and a growing international following.

art market mugrabi nahmad kenny schachter 2669458

Kenny Schachter critiques the art market's doomsaying media narrative, coining the acronym Salsa (Scribes Always Love Sensational Apocalypse) to describe clickbait-driven hype. He contrasts current market anxieties with past downturns, notably the 1991-1996 recession when the market evaporated, citing a 1991 Roberta Smith article. Schachter observes that the Nahmads and Mugrabis, once feuding families, now invest together, and he recounts his experience at Phillips during his "Hoarder 6" exhibition, where young collectors showed genuine interest. He argues that the market, though wounded, remains healthy and calls for a less transactional, more patient approach to selling art.
