A view of Gagosian, the new retail store by Gagosian Gallery

It is a fascinating time in the world of contemporary art in which the industry kingpins are maneuvering for the eyes and wallets of the masses (albeit the well-to-do ones). On the heels of Phillips de Pury’s announcement of an editorial project, Gagosian Gallery has opened its first-ever retail shop. Located in the same building as its flagship gallery at 980 Madison Ave, the 2500 sq ft bi-level space features a reading lounge, video art projection wall and a handpicked array of art and design items, including books, catalogs, furniture, special edition posters, prints, wallpaper and more by Marc Newson, Jeff Koons, Jean Prouve and Ed Ruscha among others.
