Resolution represents artists including Lindsey Lohan, Roman Polanksi, Molly Ringwald, David Duchovny, Gina Gershon, and Haley Joel Osmont. As of 2014 it was one of the ten largest agencies in the United States.

Formation

Berg left ICM after the management buyout in October 2012, and opened Resolution on January 28, 2013. The new agency was capitalized with a $200 million investment from Jahm Najafi, a former Salomon Brothers banker active in private equity.

Closure

In March 2014, Bison Capital, a Chinese investment firm, made an investment in Resolution. During 2014, the agency saw the departure of several key agents. In October 2014 it was reported that Bison Capital had withdrawn its funding, and the agency would close down its operations.

Resolution (beam engine)

Resolution was an early beam engine, installed between 1781–1782 at Coalbrookdale as a water-returning engine to power the blast furnaces and ironworks there. It was one of the last water-returning engines to be constructed, before the rotative beam engine made this type of engine obsolete.

Water power in Coalbrookdale

Coalbrookdale was a cradle of the First Industrial Revolution and was the scene of Abraham Darby's first production of iron by a coke-fired blast furnace, rather than the previous and expensive charcoal. Coalbrookdale is a narrow steep-sided valley that offered useful water power to drive the furnace blast and the various stamp mills, boring engines, etc. Contemporary visitors commented upon the picturesque 'fine cascades' of water. Although the water power available at Coalbrookdale had been described as 'abundant', it was also seasonal: in the summer months, the lack of water could require the furnace to be 'blown out' for some months and work suspended.
