The names Gagosian, David Zwirner and Pace might mean little to many. Art aficionados, however, revere those names as being among the world’s biggest and most prestigious art galleries. Gagosian and Pace boast 15 and eight worldwide locations, respectively.
The fact that all three are exhibiting at the Seattle Art Fair, to be held this weekend (July 30-Aug. 2), is a big deal.
“It shows a real leap of faith on the part of Gagosian and Zwirner,” said Greg Kucera, director of the 32-year-old Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle and a member of the art fair dealer committee.
