Pinault ♥ Gagosian

April 11, 2011 by Marion Maneker

At lunch with François Pinault, Jackie Wullschlager tried a brief conversational gambit when she proposes that his purchases can put an artist on the map:

At this, the competitive streak, politely downplayed so far, rises. “Yes, Gagosian comes to my shows and a fortnight later goes to see the artists and puts them under contract!” Pinault laughs, adding, “ He is terriblement efficace, j’aime bien cet homme! He has the energy, the regard, the intelligence.”
