International dealer Larry Gagosian has announced that he will mount an exhibition of more than 100 works by approximately 50 postwar and contemporary artists in a former chocolate factory near the Kremlin this fall, reports Bloomberg.

The show, titled "For What You Are About to Receive," is the dealer's second in the luxury-hungry Russian capital. At the first, held in a high-end mall outside of Moscow last October, he sold "about two thirds" of the 40 works, according to the gallery.

This exhibition, running September 18 to October 25, will include works by Giacometti, de Kooning, and Lichtenstein as well as new, never-seen works by Kapoor, Koons, Ruscha, Serra, and Twombly. The gallery said that only some of the works will be for sale.

The show will also inaugurate Red October, a 19th-century former chocolate factory on the Moscow River, as a new arts center. Gagosian denies, however, that it plans to add a permanent space in Moscow to its stable of seven galleries worldwide.
