Georgina Adam reports today in the Financial Times that Damien Hirst will split with his longtime dealer Gagosian gallery.

Here's Gagosian's statement from the piece:

"It has been a great honour to work with Damien over the last 17 years culminating with the worldwide showing of the Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011 at all 11 Gagosian galleries this year . . . We wish him conti­nued success for the future.”

The split means that Mr. Hirst now has no New York dealer. Last week news broke that another prominent Gagosian artist, Jeff Koons, will do a show with Gagosian competitor David Zwirner gallery.
