The Standard

There are VERY few things that we get excited about because we’re the kind of guy that isn’t that impressed by much, but last year, when we heard The Gagosian Gallery was opening up a storefront shop, we almost LOST it!  Yes, darlings.  We know we said “last year”, but we’re very busy.  We never make it up above 14th Street when we’re in NYC…every major maison has outposts in SoHo now.  But we know you know that already. 

ANYSTAN…last week, we went uptown because we needed a new white gold chain for our Jack Vartanian letter necklace, and we walked by the shop.  Can you say STAN D’AMAZINGOHMYGODWHATISTHATALLABOUT?!?!  It’s the chicest place in the world.  Tom Sachs chess sets for $10,000….(we bought one).  Signed Damien Hirst prints for $250…(we bought four).  The 2,500 square foot space features Gagosian publications, posters, prints, as well as limited editions by John Currin,Tom Friedman, Ellen Gallagher, Jeff Koons, Marc Newson, Richard Prince, Ed Ruscha and the list goes on and on and on and on….

We don’t mean to get all giddy on you, but this might be one of the greatest retail operations the world has ever seen.  If you’re ever in Manhattan, forget the top of the Empire State Building and go straight to the Gagosian Storefront.  Enough said.
