It’s a fortuitous thing that the Spot Challenge is taking place in January. Because during the warmer days, cities like Rome, Athens, and Paris are swarmed with tourists eager to eat crepes and buy magnets. Rome in January is actually a magnificent city. The air is crisp, the skies are blue, and streets are more manageable without all the overbearing group tours.
The Italian location for Gagosian (just few blocks away from Fontana di Trevi) is actually our favorite of Larry’s properties so far architecturally. It’s a gorgeous, curved room that happened to host the smallest spot on display in the world…the 1 x 1/2 inch, yellow wonder from 1996 (pictured). It’s very tiny and very refreshing after this week’s big spot overdrive.
