The Gagosian way
Monday, December 08, 2008
A mail from Larry Gagosian to his staff this November
“If you would like to continue working for Gagosian I suggest you
start to sell some art. Everything is going to be evaluated in
this new climate based on performances I basically put in eighteen
hours a day, which any number of people could verify. If you are
not willing to make that kind of commitment please let me know. The
general economy and also the art economy is clearly headed for some
choppy waters; I want to make sure that we are the best swimmers on
the block. The luxury of carrying under-performing employees is now
a thing of the past.”
From Flash Art Newsletter.
Thanks Michael.

The art of demystification. I think we're going to be seeing a lot of that as the crunch grows. Like, who's side people are really on.
Maybe Michael Stevenson will have shows by Mustafa Maluka every six months, just to keep that revenue streaming in...
