Hauser & Wirth

Hauser & Wirth is a contemporary art gallery with locations in Zurich, Switzerland, and London, England.

Hauser & Wirth Zürich was founded in 1992 by its principals Ursula Hauser, Manuela Wirth and Iwan Wirth. In addition to representing over 30 established and emerging artists, the gallery works closely with the estates of Eva Hesse, Allan Kaprow, Lee Lozano, Jason Rhoades and André Thomkins.

The gallery's publishing partnership Hauser & Wirth Steidl creates a number of vital and diverse monographs every season, realizing artists’ instinctive desires on the printed page and distributing the resulting titles internationally.

Since 1996, the gallery has been located in the former Löwenbräu brewery building, along with other contemporary art galleries, the Kunsthalle Zurich and the Migros Museum.In 2003, Hauser & Wirth London opened on Piccadilly in an historic building designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, its unique exhibition spaces adding weight to London’s growing importance as an international art centre.

In Autumn of 2006, Hauser & Wirth at Colnaghi was created in Old Bond Street, hosting several annual exhibitions and functioning as the gallery’s secondary market operation in London.

Zwirner & Wirth New York opened in 2000 as a partnership with New York dealer David Zwirner. The gallery is located at 32 East 69th Street and exhibits modern and contemporary masters.
