Larry Gagosian’s art-gallery empire, already the world’s largest, is taking over more space in New York’s Chelsea district.
Gagosian is renting 7,900 square feet (734 square meters) adjacent to his 26,000-square-foot gallery on West 24th Street. Kyle Kirkpatrick, a spokesman for landlord Weinberg Properties, confirmed that Gagosian agreed to a long-term lease, declining to disclose further details.
