You know what is cooler than an ultra-hip gallery? An ultra-hip gallery shop! This has come to life with the Gagosian Gallery Retail Shop located in New York.
Promising to be about as cool as the gallery itself, the Gagosian Gallery Retail Shop is two floors of prints and collectibles. The lower floor will feature a first for the U.S. with the launching of Damien Hirst’s Other Criteria shop. Definitely a must-see on any trip to the gallery.
