Oehlen Goes to Gagosian

October 17, 2011 by Marion Maneker

Georgina Adam reports in her Financial Times column that Albert Oehlen has joined Gagosian gallery. Recently Gagosian has opted to harness his powerful global distribution network to artists with long-standing and solid dealer relationships in temporary joint ventures. But Thomas Dane, who expanded his gallery in London to a ground floor space hasn’t gone that route:

His inaugural show of five works by the German painter Albert Oehlen was sold out before the opening, at prices between €175,000 and €285,000. But this will be the last Oehlen show for Dane – the artist has been poached by Gagosian. Thomas Dane, elegantly, refuses to be drawn on the subject, just saying: “Albert decided he would benefit from showing with Gagosian, who have a global presence. He’s very committed to this show and he is a close friend and will remain so.”
