Goss Gallery

Goss Gallery to Open in Dallas Featuring International Contemporary Art

Dallas (ots/PRNewswire)

- Super Star Musician George Michael, Partner of Owner Kenny Goss,
to Attend Grand Opening; First Exhibition Will Feature Works By
Photographer David LaChapelle; LaChapelle to Be in Attendance;
London's Noted Hamiltons Gallery to Be Consultant in Curating
Exhibitions
The much anticipated Goss Gallery, owned by Dallas native Kenny
Goss and featuring international contemporary art and photography,
will open its doors with a private party on May 19 with an exciting
exhibition of large scale photographic works by photographer David
LaChapelle. The show will open to the general public on Friday, May
20, and continue until August 12.
Super star musician George Michael, partner of Kenny Goss, is
flying from London with Goss to attend the private May 19 preview
event along with other VIPs and friends of Goss and Michael's. David
LaChapelle, whose work is the premiere exhibition, will be arriving
from Los Angeles. Notable artists also scheduled to attend include
Stella Vine, Richmond Burton, Gary Komarin and Richard Hudson, all of
whom will have featured shows at Goss Gallery in the coming months.
"Kenny's from Dallas so we chose to have a home there and the city
has become my favorite place in America. Both Kenny and I love
contemporary art and we wanted a gallery that would take the Dallas
art scene to a whole new level. David LaChapelle is brilliant and his
work is sexual, bizarre and gorgeous. Both of us adore his work and
Dallas will never be the same once they see Goss Gallery and David's
art," said George Michael.
Goss Gallery is built on Kenny Goss' love and appreciation of
outstanding contemporary art that he and George Michael have
collected and enjoyed at galleries and art fairs in New York, Los
Angeles, London and throughout Europe. Goss, a successful
businessman, and George Michael, possess an extensive contemporary
art collection that graces their homes in Dallas, London and the
British countryside.
The show will include a retrospective of some of LaChapelle's most
noted works including selections from his show at the Barbican Museum
in London, Europe's largest multi-arts venue, as well as new work
that has not previously been shown.
"When you walk into Goss Gallery, it will be one-of-a-kind,
vibrant and exciting," said Goss. "Dallas has many serious art
collectors who travel the world to purchase pieces. My vision is to
bring a truly international gallery program to Dallas that will
entice serious collectors, as well as those who are looking to build
a new collection."
London's respected Hamiltons Gallery (www.hamiltonsgallery.com )
will act as a consultant -- not only serving as a curator for
exhibitions and acquisitions, but also advising on the overall look
and operation of Goss Gallery. Owned by Tim Jefferies and known as
one of the world's leading galleries of late 20th century
photography, Hamiltons embarked on a major refurbishment in 2000 and
its exhibition schedule has evolved to include a diverse selection of
contemporary paintings. Past exhibitions included Robert
Mapplethorpe, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Helmut Newton, Richard
Avedon, Robert Frank, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Tom
Wesselman, as well as a number of young contemporary American artists
such as Jack Pierson and Richmond Burton, among others.
Filippo Tattoni-Marcozzi, Hamiltons Gallery Manager for the past
five years, will maintain his position in London while also
undertaking the position of Director and Curator of Goss Gallery.
The 3,200 square-foot Goss Gallery is located at 2500 Cedar
Springs Road (at Fairmount) in Uptown Dallas. For more information,
