About Douglas Flamm
A twenty-five-year veteran of the field—and Gagosian’s in-house rare books expert since 2016—Douglas has significant experience in developing and maintaining library collections. He boasts unparalleled know-how in sourcing scarce and important publications, from catalogues raisonnés and museum exhibition catalogues to monographs and artist’s books, including rare and out-of-print titles as well as newer releases. Focusing on a broad range of twentieth- and twenty-first-century artists and movements—from Picasso through Abstract Expressionism, Pop art, and Minimalism, to the full spectrum of contemporary practices—Douglas can also locate modern design and architecture books on such subjects as Art Deco, the Bauhaus, and Modernism.
