Anniversary

Gagosian Rome

Ten years ago, on December 15, 2007, Larry Gagosian inaugurated his gallery in Rome, a 1920s bank converted by architects Firouz Galdo and Caruso St John, near the Spanish Steps, with the exhibition Cy Twombly: Three Notes From Salalah.

Collaboration

Gagosian Rome
& La Fondazione

June 3–September 2020
Rome

As a preview to Stanley Whitney’s upcoming exhibition at Gagosian Rome later this year, the gallery is presenting the Bertacca paintings, produced in his studio near Parma, Italy. Whitney’s experiences in Italy, where he lived during the 1990s and where he maintains a working studio, remain a constant source of enrichment for his art. As a complementary project, each week La Fondazione is presenting the work of a contemporary Italian artist born in the 1980s or 1990s, visible to passersby through the building’s glass doors, daily from 6pm to 11am.
