Hauser & Wirth

The art gallery, Hauser & Wirth,was founded by Ursula Hauser, Manuela Wirth and Iwan Wirth in Zurich in 1992. It is now constituted with four sites over three countries:

• Hauser & Wirth Zurich
• Hauser & Wirth London, Piccadilly, opened in 2003
• Hauser & Wirth Colnaghi, Old Bond Street, London, opened in 2006
• Zwirner & Wirth New York, opened in 2006 (by the gallery's strong partnership with the New York dealer, David Zwirner)

The gallery represents over thirty contemporary artists. The London gallery has shown many emerging international artists, many of which displayed their first solo exhibitions in the UK. It has become one of the most interesting and original galleries in London where inspiring works from the artists can be discovered and experienced.

The gallery also works closely with the estates of Eva Hesse, Allan Kaprow, Lee Lozano, Jason Rhoades, and André Thomkins.

The galleries are located in several historical buildings. In particular, the London gallery in Piccadilly is situated in a former bank building where the space creates a distinguishably grand and historical atmosphere. It is formed in three levels: basement, main ground floor and upper floor.

The publishing partnership Hauser & Wirth Steidi creates a number of monographs every season.
