Tom Sachs' Apology for Toxic Workplace Culture and Abuse Allegations

Artist Tom Sachs has issued a statement to the New York Times apologizing for the work conditions at his studio, following an investigation by Curbed in March alleging that Sachs’ studio assistants were being hazed and harassed. Sachs denies intentionally creating an environment that caused distress to his employees, but admits that he deeply regrets that anyone felt less than supported, safe and fulfilled within his studio. Sachs plans to overhaul the culture at the studio, which has often been a focus of his art. Nike appears to have signaled that it is no longer working with Sachs.
