Short Biography
Guillaume Gallozzi, (11 February 1958, Aix-en-Provence - 25 December 1995, Paris) was a French art dealer who was associated with graffiti art. He lived and worked in New York and rose to prominence in the 1980s and '90s for his promotion of graffiti pioneers and, later, of British art. He had a reputation for being quixotic, brilliant and stylish ("more worthy of a novel than a brief obituary") per The Independent, UK), and he played a role in the careers of some significant artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Stan Peskett and Steven Sykes. In the early 1980s Gallozzi and partner Joe La Placa (the latter went on to found All Visual Arts in London in 2007) opened the Gallozzi-La Placa Gallery in New York's TriBeCa. In 1981 Gallozzi had presented the first significant solo exhibition of Stan Peskett's installation art in New York, subsequently becoming Peskett's dealer.
