with Sarah Hoover from Gagosian

Sarah Hoover's grandfather used to always take her to art museums when she was growing up, so it was not entirely surprising that she ended up as a graduate student studying art. On a whim, however, she applied for and landed a job with Larry Gagosian. That decisively bent her career path away from the hallowed halls of academe to the fast-paced, dynamic world of contemporary art. Dr. Lara Devgan talks to Sarah Hoover about working at the most successful gallery in the world and what it takes to represent some of the most prominent artists from around the globe.

The Process with noor tagouri

Being Critical of Something
you Love, with Sarah Hoover

“I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” Thats a quote from James Baldwin. One of my favorites. But I realized it applies to so many things...our careers/industries, our relationships, our systems etc. I’ve been in the media field for 10 years and am highly critical of it - because I love it so much. There’s a way to be critical and productive about things we love. Sarah Hoover is a great example of that. One of the most brilliant people in the art world - but also vocal about its flaws. I sat down with her and she got real about the problems and ways to alleviate them.
