The son of one of America’s most celebrated painters, Vito Schnabel grew up at the center of the international art world. He organized his first exhibitions—including a 2005 solo show of paintings by Ron Gorchov, which revitalized interest in the artist’s abstraction—beginning at age sixteen in 2003. Over the decade that followed he mounted some thirty pop-up shows for the work of Rene Ricard, Terence Koh, Laurie Anderson, and other contemporary artists in New York, London, Zurich, and Los Angeles.
