## Summary

Filmmaker Barry Avrich says his upcoming unauthorised documentary about art dealer Larry Gagosian is intended as a balanced biography, not an attempt to cancel him. The film will examine Gagosian’s influence and dominance in the art trade, including criticism and perspectives he may dislike.

The 81-year-old dealer operates galleries in cities including New York, Beverly Hills, London and Paris, and represents hundreds of sought-after artists. Avrich has finished research and plans to begin filming in early 2027, with a release targeted for late 2027 or spring 2028; Gagosian has not yet been interviewed, though Avrich says he would welcome his participation.
