Damien Hirst's "End of an Era" Exhibition

Saturday night at Gagosian the art world headed uptown for the opening of Damien Hirst's "End of an Era". Taking its name from the central sculpture, a severed bull's head with golden horns suspended in formaldehyde and encased in a golden vitrine, the show is on view through March 6th 2010. True to form the opening proved a star-studded affair with icons from all genres, from art to music and film. The after party followed suit at the Boom Boom Room with Hirst's clan: Mick Jagger, Bono, Murakami, John MacEnroe, Terry Richardson to name a few.

Anselm Reyle and Takashi Murakami Open at Gagosian Gallery Chelsea

Gagosian Gallery on West 24th Street was packed on Thursday night for the opening of a major show of Anselm Reyle's new works and an unveiling of Takashi Murakami's latest triptych painting. Berlin based artist Anselm Reyle's show is appropriately titled "Monochrome Age." His monumental sculptures with shiny, lacquered surfaces create vistas within the white cube of the gallery, reflecting its visitors and one another.

Takashi Murakami's 'Picture of Fate: I am but a fisherman who angles in the darkness of his mind' depicts the legend of the "China-lion" in his distinctive superflat style mixing American Pop with Japanese Anime and Otaku content.
