Harmony Korine (writer of Kids, writer and director of Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Trash Humpers and Spring Breakers) is having an art exhibit at the Park Avenue Gagosian Gallery this May. Here is a preview: Blue Checker (2014), from “Shooters.” We have collectively decided that this is a Magic Eye painting with a person sitting on another person’s shoulders in it and the […]

Last night, the West 21st Street Gagosian Gallery started shipping out their Richard Serra installation. This meant that the throngs of people leaving opening receptions for bars and subways encountered a giant, famous slab of steel, strapped to a flatbed truck. Holy shit, you guys, Inside Out (2013) is outside! ANIMAL checked in on the truck this morning. […]

Good news for the 44 Pratt students who lost work in a fire this past February. The Gagosian Gallery is giving them an exhibition! It is likely a transparent PR move by the Gagosian, but at the same time, a gesture that is hard to ignore, as is the uncomfortably borderline ironic name: “Flameproof.” The exhibit will […]

Last week, iCNN “reported” that the Gagosian Gallery is going to exhibit the work of former president George W. Bush. The dogs. The naked bathroom lamentations. Etc. While the internet murmured with displeasure and incredulity, we reassured you that it wasn’t really happening. Looks like the Great Gagosian Trollage of 2013 isn’t over, for a Facebook page for […]

“CNN” recently reported that Larry Gagosian will host an exhibition of George W. Bush’s paintings, a source of fascination, dogs and naked George W. Bush. Only, it wasn’t really reported by CNN, but its citizen journalist initiative iReport and this article is not vetted. A “mock flyer” of American Legacy the exhibit was “anonymously leaked online […]
