From two JPEGs on Tumblr to international gallery recognition. How did success begin for Louisa Gagliardi??
In 2015, shortly after starting her career, Louisa uploaded two portraits created in Photoshop to Tumblr. Within a week, galleries in New York and Dublin were reaching out to exhibit her work.
In conversation with curator Simon de Pury, Louisa looks back at the unexpected beginnings of her artistic career.
Watch the full interview on FAMM’s YouTube channel. Link in bio.
Discover IN PLAIN SIGHT, Louisa Gagliardi’s first institutional exhibition in France, presented by FAMM at the Centre d’Art de Mougins until 4 April 2027.

What a surprise it was to walk into the Moderna Museet in Stockholm yesterday afternoon and to bump into Will Ferrell (1) one of my all time heroes and his lovely wife Viveca Paulin (2). Viveca is an auctioneer and a trustee of the LACMA. Back in 2008 Will Ferrell featured on the cover of the inaugural Phillips de Pury auction catalog of Modern and Contemporary Editions (4). He wrote on the wonderful portrait Mark Seliger took of him a great dedication to Kelly Troester and Cary Leibowitz (4/7) who since then are the very successful worldwide directors of the Phillips Modern and Contemporary Editions department. Wherever Will Ferrell goes he brings joy and laughter (3) which is the supreme gift! #willferrell #vivecapaulin #modernamuseet #lacma @viveca_paulin @kelly_troester @phillipsauction @lacma @modernamuseet

Sotheby’s fall auctions in New York are jam packed with exceptional works coming from a number of major collections and estates. A visit to the Breuer building is a unique opportunity to see a number of masterpieces before they are being dispersed in all directions. The works above are just a tiny selection of art works that caught my eye. 1/2/3 René Magritte 4 Max Ernst 5 Léonora Carrington & Edward James 6/7 Paul Cézanne 8 Vincent van Gogh 9 Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 10 Auguste Renoir 11 Edgar Degas 12 Claude Monet 13 Oskar Kokoschka 14 Edward Hopper 15 Walton Ford 16 Fernando Botero in front of a Morris Louis 17 Simone Leigh in front of a Mark Bradford 18 Kerry James Marshall 19 David Hockney 20 Isamu Noguchi #sothebys #artmarket #art #auctions #eye @sothebys

Joan Miró has always been one of my favorite 20th century sculptors. Bizarrely his sculptures are in my view underrated and undervalued. During an exhibition installation break at the FAMM Mougins I hopped over to neighboring Saint Paul de Vence. Even under heavy rain there is no better place to appreciate the originality, variety and humor of Miró’s sculptures than at the Fondation Maeght. #joanmiro #fondationmaeght #sculpture #saintpauldevence @fondationmaeght
