Locations and exhibitions

Hauser & Wirth has spaces in Europe (Zurich, London, Somerset, Gstaad, St. Moritz, Menorca and Monaco), Asia (Hong Kong) and North America (Manhattan, Southampton, New York and Los Angeles).

Location history

When the gallery was founded in 1992, it was initially operated from Iwan Wirth’s Zurich apartment. The first permanent venue opened in the former Löwenbräu building that became Hauser & Wirth Zürich in 1996, followed by a London branch in an Edward Lutyens-designed former bank on Piccadilly in 2003. In 2013, the gallery opened a space at the former Roxy disco and skating rink in New York. In 2014 the gallery renovated Durslade Farm, a collection of farm buildings in rural Somerset, to create Hauser & Wirth Somerset. The gallery also restored a 100,000 sq. ft. former flour mill, the Globe Mills complex, in downtown Los Angeles in 2016. In 2018, Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles was awarded the Los Angeles Conservancy’s Chair’s Award.

In spring 2020, Hauser & Wirth opened its first purpose-built gallery space at 542 West 22nd Street in New York’s West Chelsea art district, designed by Selldorf Architects. In July 2021, the gallery opened an art center on Isla del Rey in Menorca after a conservation project overseen by Luis Laplace, repurposing existing historic buildings on the island. The gallery was awarded the Best Social Responsibility Initiative by the Government of the Balearic Islands in September 2021, listed as one of the ‘2022 Works of Wonder’ by the international editors of Architectural Digest and named ‘Best Art Destination’ in the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2022. In 2021 Hauser & Wirth acquired the Thomas Goode building at 19 South Audley Street in Mayfair to create a new flagship gallery in London joining its Savile Row space.

In June 2022 the gallery announced the opening of a new space in Paris. Paris-based architect Luis Laplace was appointed to oversee renovations of the location, a 19th-century hôtel particulier.

In February 2023, the gallery opened a West Hollywood, California space with an exhibition by artist George Condo.

Partnerships and learning

Hauser & Wirth Somerset began an artist-in-residence program in 2013 inviting artists to spend an extended period of time living and working in Bruton. Previous artists-in-residence include Pipilotti Rist, Bharti Kher, Mark Wallinger, Rashid Johnson, Martin Creed, Henry Taylor, and Thomas J Price.

Hauser & Wirth collaborates with local educational institution Cal State LA, and in 2019, Cal State LA’s television, film, and media studies department received a one-million dollar grant from the gallery. Hauser & Wirth has partnered with CalArts and the Bath School of Art and Design, Bath Spa University (UK) on an annual MFA residency exchange program at its Los Angeles and Somerset galleries, which launched in 2017.

Since 2020, Hauser & Wirth has collaborated with Hunter College, hosting exhibitions of artists’ work enrolled in the school’s MFA Program in Studio Art both online and at Hauser & Wirth New York, as well as with the South London Gallery. In October 2020, the gallery brought together more than 100 artists for ‘Artists For New York’ to support several local museums and organizations that had been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Somerset, the gallery formed Arthaus for young people who are interested in learning more about art and architecture. Hauser & Wirth launched The Gustav Metzger Foundation Scholarship in 2021, partnering with Dartington Arts School by supporting a student on the ‘Arts and Place’ MA course. Also in 2021, Hauser & Wirth Menorca launched its first Education Lab during its inaugural exhibition with Mark Bradford. The artist led an art education residency with students from l’Escola d’Art de Menorca.

In November 2022, Iwan Wirth announced the gallery's first online auction, "Art for Better", which supported the humanitarian aid programs of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. The gallery raised $4,585,000 (USD), with all proceeds going to support UNHCR. All of the twelve offered lots were sold at the auction and were donated by gallery artists Rita Ackermann, Larry Bell, Frank Bowling, George Condo, Martin Creed, Estate Günther Förg, Rashid Johnson, Glenn Ligon, Angel Otero, Thomas J Price, Avery Singer and Anj Smith.

Sustainability

In March 2021, Hauser & Wirth appointed a full-time Head of Environmental Sustainability to work on the gallery’s climate action plan and commitment to halve the gallery’s carbon emissions by 2030. In 2021, the gallery began to calculate the carbon produced by exhibitions and fairs using this data to set carbon budgets to achieve a commitment to the Paris agreement of 50% reduction. In addition, Hauser & Wirth has enrolled in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to measure, track and monitor reductions. An exhibition of Gustav Metzger at Hauser & Wirth Somerset in 2021 is the first show to have a Climate Impact Report (CIR) published on the artist-led sustainability platform Artists Commit.

Hauser & Wirth is a patron of the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) and also supports Art to Acres, an initiative for artists, gallerists and collectors with a mission to support large-scale land conservation, launching fundraising prints with artists such as Jenny Holzer in 2020. In 2021, the gallery partnered with the Menorca Preservation Fund upon the opening of the gallery in Menorca, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

In 2023, Hauser & Wirth unveiled its new collective impact initiative through a collaboration with Uman.
