Gagosian is a global contemporary and modern art gallery founded by Larry Gagosian, who opened his first space in Los Angeles in 1980 showing then-emerging artists such as Eric Fischl and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The gallery expanded to New York in 1989 on Madison Avenue, with an inaugural show of Jasper Johns's maps, before moves to SoHo in 1991 and to West 24th Street in Chelsea in 1999, and became international in 2000 with a London opening. Gagosian now operates roughly nineteen exhibition spaces across the United States, Europe, and Asia, anchored in New York by its Chelsea location, and has represented major postwar and contemporary figures including Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Richard Serra, and Jeff Koons.
