Gagosian Announces New Board of Directors

Larry Gagosian formed a new Board of Directors tasked with shaping the future direction of his mega gallery.

Comprised of 12 leading figures from disparate fields, the board was established late last year and held its first of two annual meetings in May. “The strategic input and guidance of the Board of Directors will complement the tactical approach of the gallery’s leadership team and senior gallery directors who oversee day-to-day strategy and business development, artist relationships and exhibitions, information and technology, and infrastructure, under the continued direction of Mr. Gagosian, wrote a press release.

Amongst the influential members chosen are Delphine Arnault, the executive vice president of Louis Vuitton, filmmaker Sofia Coppola and artist Jenny Saville.

“I felt it was important to welcome different perspectives and experiences into a conversation about the opportunities and challenges facing artists today and tomorrow, as well as the future of collecting,” said Gagosian in a statement. “We have gathered many of the most talented minds in their respective industries, a number of whom have specific experience at the intersection of their trade and art. Their insights can help us validate our priorities and how we are positioning the business for success and growth,” he added.
