Established by Larry Gagosian in Los Angeles in 1980, Gagosian is a global network of art galleries specializing in modern and contemporary art. With nineteen exhibition spaces across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Gagosian showcases works by prominent and influential artists of our time. The gallery is renowned for its museum-quality exhibitions and cultural programming, employing over three hundred people worldwide.
Gagosian's New York City galleries, particularly those in Chelsea, face unique challenges. These spaces, housing millions of dollars' worth of art, require impeccable cleanliness to maintain their high standards. The facilities director struggled with unreliable cleaning services, which resulted in wasted time tracking down cleaners and ensuring the spaces were presentable. With constant activity, including transportation of artwork, numerous employees, and frequent events, maintaining cleanliness was critical yet challenging. So they decided it was time for change.
Slate stepped in to provide reliable and consistent cleaning services tailored to Gagosian's needs. They assembled a custom cleaning team of ten keepers specifically trained to handle the unique environment of art galleries. The team was knowledgeable in avoiding damage to artwork and maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness. Slate's morning and afternoon crews ensured the galleries remained spotless throughout the day, supporting the gallery staff and curators.
With Slate's services, the Gagosian facilities director no longer worries about the cleanliness of the galleries. Slate’s crews are trusted to be on time, well-trained, and capable of maintaining the high standards required. This partnership has allowed the director to focus on more critical tasks, confident that the galleries are always in sparkling clean and in perfect condition. Slate also provides support during events, ensuring that openings and post-event cleanings are handled seamlessly.
By partnering with Slate, Gagosian benefits from a pristine and secure environment, reinforcing their reputation for excellence and allowing them to focus on showcasing world-class art without distraction.
