Artist Re-Emerges from Obscurity with Gagosian

September 22, 2011 by Marion Maneker

The knock on dealer Larry Gagosian has always been that he doesn’t discover artists himself but waits for them to emerge with other gallerists before taking them on at his global dealership. But Carol Vogel reveals in her column that Gagosian is willing to reach into obscurity for an artist he believes in:

Neil Jenney is a painter who has been out of the limelight for years, secreted away in his SoHo studio and having only the occasional exhibition. […] But Mr. Jenney, 66, is poised for a comeback; he has just signed with the Gagosian Gallery, which showed him once before, in 2001. “He’s been an outsider,” Larry Gagosian said in a telephone interview, “but I’ve admired his work for years, and it’s going to be fun putting him squarely on the map where he belongs.”
