Antwaun Sargent Gets Ready for Another Big Year

Antwaun Sargent became a director at Gagosian gallery in 2021 after a decade as a writer and curator, most notably of the book and now exhibition "The New Black Vanguard: Photography Between Art and Fashion." In this podcast, he discusses the global success of the New Black Vanguard Show and his upcoming collaboration with late designer and artist Virgil Abloh. That exhibition will open in June at the Brooklyn Museum. Social Works, his first show for Gagosian, was a major event in Chelsea. There were lines around the block for admission. Gagosian's Chelsea galleries have previously seen such lines for shows about Picasso's late works, curated by his biographer John Richardson, and a blockbuster Monet exhibition mounted by former MoMA curator John Elderfield. Social works was so successful, Gagosian accelerated the launch of Social Works two in London from 2022 to last fall. In this podcast, Sargent tells us of the potential for a third social workshop and where it might be held, as well as a series of shows he's putting on at Gagosian's 74th street location in New York.
