Before Damien Hirst stuffed a shark, before Basquiat picked up a
spray can, before Andy Warhol started The Factory, a pile of
unwanted Jackson Pollocks changed everything. From them emerged the
first major modern art dealer. It was 1947, and the art world would
never be the same. From the early days on 57th Street, to the rise
of SoHo in the 60s, to the emergence of Chelsea as the hotbed of
art galleries, we see the meteoric rise and the devastating falls
of the most renowned dealers: Larry Gagosian, David Zwirner, Arne
Glimcher, and Iwan Wirth. With unparalleled access, the longtime
Vanity Fairreporter tells us the story of contemporary art through
the people who coddled, supported, and funded the likes of Jeff
Koons, and Cy Twombly. It's a story of backstabbing, betrayals,
fruitful partnerships, genius, and ever larger sums of money. The
world of contemporary art is inextricable from the wild wealth and
naked financial opportunism that surrounds it.
