Gagosian joins the team of galleries representing Jordan Wolfson:
Over the past decade, artist Jordan Wolfson has become famous for complex, large-scale, and often controversial artworks that require a heavy lift from his galleries, both financially and logistically. According to a lengthy 2020 cost $1 million to produce and came to fruition thanks to financial backing from his galleries David Zwirner and Sadie Coles.
So it’s perhaps not surprising that yet another mega-gallery has come on board to help share the load. Yesterday, Gagosian announced it would split representation of Wolfson with Coles and Zwirner.The announcement contained minimal detail about the nature of the arrangement, but Artnet News understands that Zwirner will continue to focus on New York while Gagosian will focus on Los Angeles. Coles will keep her focus on London.
Zwirner and Gagosian have shared representation of an artist with ambitious production needs before.
