Gagosian announces the appointment of Christina You as China Representative

You joins Gagosian following a distinguished six-year tenure at UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, where she was most recently the Director of Development and Creative Strategy. Her appointment is effective immediately.

Nick Simunovic, who has led Gagosian’s activities in Asia since 2007, commented, “Christina brings deep relationships and regional expertise that will help us extend our reach in China in a strategic and thoughtful way. Her many years at one of the preeminent museums in Asia, combined with her experience in the West, provide her with unique perspectives that complement our existing team across China and the region as a whole.”

Prior to joining Gagosian, You was the Director of Development and Creative Strategy of UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, the groundbreaking museum with locations in Beijing, Beidaihe, and Shanghai. At UCCA, You was responsible for the museum’s extensive fundraising and outreach efforts, including individual giving and corporate sponsorship. She was also the key organizer of exhibition-related events, cultivation programs, and special projects globally.

You commented, “I am thrilled to be joining Gagosian, a world-renowned gallery and authority in the industry. We are experiencing a remarkable moment in China, as a new generation focused on art and collecting comes of age. I am excited to see these two forces combine and I am looking forward to bringing Gagosian’s expertise and programming to collectors across China.”
