Cy Twombly in Gagosian’s Athenian virgin show

This fall, Gagosian Gallery, one of the world's foremost modern and contemporary art institutions, adds one more selling outpost in Athens, Greece. The new gallery marks further expansion of Larry Gagosian’s empire, who began with his first space in New York in 1979. With the Athenian addition, there are now ten locations worldwide, which span New York, Beverly Hills, London, Rome, and Hong Kong, and make Gagosian one of the few that can lay claim to a truly global reach. The new Gagosian in Athens kicks off on September 25, with an exhibition of new paintings by Cy Twombly entitled Leaving Paphos Ringed With Waves, due to run through December 19, 2009.
