Beatlemania, Through the Eyes of Paul McCartney
For The Beatles, 1963 was the start of something great. Fresh off their first headlining UK tour, it was only up for Paul, George, Ringo and John, landing appearances on some of the region's most acclaimed television programs and an eventual residency at the Olympia Theatre in Paris. With this ascent to pop superstardom fittingly came global fervor, an unprecedented mass hysteria we now know as “Beatlemania.”An upcoming Paul McCartney exhibition at Gagosian London brings us back to this era – December 1963 through February 1964 – offering a backstage look at one of music's enduring names. Titled Rearview Mirror: Liverpool-London-Paris, the presentation will feature an array of multi-image works and single frames, presumed lost for the last five decades, all lensed through the bassist's 35m...

The Slow Death of the Contemporary Art Gallery
The contemporary art gallery as we know it is dying. In cities like New York and Los Angeles, dedicated spaces that once buzzed with foot traffic and formal openings are now struggling with rising rents and changing expectations. The old model, where a gallery does everything for its artists, feels like it's falling apart.Big gallery chains, the ones built on endless art fairs, multiple cities and huge rosters of artists, are losing their grip. Last month, Tim Blum announced he would close his Blum & Poe galleries in L.A. and Tokyo and even stop plans for a new one in Tribeca. He was blunt about the reason: "This is not about the market. This is about the system," he told ARTnews, pointing out that collectors have more power than ever to negotiate. His decision echoes a wider feeling a...
