Matt Stromberg digs deeper into the news that Gagosian will occupy a part of the Marciano Foundation’s old building in LA, and what that might mean for the community and the foundation’s tax-exempt status.
In November of 2019, the foundation abruptly shut down after its employees attempted to unionize, citing “low attendance,” even if many found the excuse peculiar. In July, the museum reached an agreement with the former employees who argued that the foundation had violated the law when it laid them off.
