In an otherwise pointlessly speculative article on Damien Hirst and Larry Gagosian, the Guardian appends this information from Forbes’s list of the top ten art dealers and their turnover in 2011. How the list was calculated—and its validity—is anybody’s guess.
1. Gagosian $925m
2. Pace $450m
3. Acquavella $400m
4. L&M $275m
5. Hauser + Wirth $225m
5. David Zwirner $225m
