...investors ranked the Russian capital just behind Paris, for example. Despite all the recent economic and geopolitical turmoil, Russia is becoming "a significant destination" for international companies, Lhermitte says. The crisis doesn't seem to have made too much of an impression on Russia's superrich, either. When Larry Gagosian of the New York Gagosian Gallery opened a modern-art exhibition including works by Picasso and Warhol at the Red October chocolate factory in downtown Moscow in September, all roads to the show were jammed by luxury cars...
...dealers Hirst will continue to work with are two of the most prominent in the business: the American Larry Gagosian (who has galleries in New York City, Los Angeles, London and Rome) and Jay Jopling, a longtime friend of Hirst's who owns London's White Cube gallery. When Sotheby's announced the Hirst sale, it immediately set off speculation that other artists - the ones with enough clout - would also bolt the gallery system. The two most obvious possibilities are the American Jeff Koons and the Japanese Takashi Murakami. Both have, just like Hirst, global name recognition and a squad...

...This is where our warming globe can screw things up, according to scientists such as Robert Gagosian, president and director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. The melting of glaciers and increased precipitation in the north has poured fresh water into the Atlantic, in some places leaving a ten foot thick layer on the ocean surface, according to Terence Joyce, also of Woods Hole. As the lighter fresh water slows the sinking of the Gulf Stream as it hits these northern latitudes it reduces the pull that brings warm water northward. Scientists estimate that the speed...
