Gagosian presents all this with its customary immaculate finesse, which is, of course, a problem. Live anarchy is missing. In a 1998 note about arranging the pickup of work for a European solo exhibition, Mr. Parrino wrote to a dealer: “Nothing needs to be protected. Don’t worry about damaging anything. (Damage is good.) Nothing will be for sale. All will be thrown out after the show. Nothing has value. This will be one of my BEST shows.” I bet it was. I wish I’d seen it. HOLLAND COTTER
