He opened his own gallery in the mid-80s, and began working with a number of notable collectors, including Charles Saatchi and Samuel Newhouse, Jr. He went on to pay some of the highest prices ever for particular works of art on behalf of his clients. He is known for having an excellent eye and for producing gorgeous gallery showings, but he also has a reputation for bending the truth if it suits him, including profiting from the death of an artist and copyright infringement. He currently owns four galleries in the US, two in London, and one each in Rome, Athens, Paris, Geneva, and Hong Kong. He jets between in each gallery on a $40 million Bambardier Global Express private jet. Larry reportedly brokers over $1 billion worth of art transactions every year across the globe.
