One doesn't have to be a connoisseur of contemporary art to be familiar with the name of Larry Gagosian, internationally renowned art dealer, whose popularity and financial power can afford to host museum-quality gallery exhibitions.
In the 1970s he opened a small poster shop in Los Angeles, just a few blocks from the UCLA, and soon after he started his first gallery in West Hollywood, showcasing American artists the likes of Chris Burden and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
