 Hauser & Wirth returns to Art Genève with these artists:
30 January – 2 February 2025 Booth B21
Hauser & Wirth’s exceptional booth at Art Genève will showcase the gallery’s multigenerational program and beyond, whilst celebrating forthcoming institutional shows from our diverse family of artists. The selection includes paintings, sculptures, works on paper and more from both contemporary and modern masters. Jack Whitten’s historic oil on canvas ‘World’s Longest Garden (Shalimar)’ (1968) offers an opportunity to view the artist’s work before his major retrospective at MoMA in New York, which opens from 23 March 2025. Illustrating his early abstract vernacular, this mesmerizing piece is an outstanding example of Whitten’s renowned Gardens series. Hélène Delprat’s recent monumental painting ‘L’ornement comme crime’ (2023 – 2024) is a highlight of the booth. The encyclopaedic research process that shapes the artist’s painting practice will be explored in a monographic show at Fondation Maeght, Saint Paul de Vence, France from 22 March 2025. Standout sculptures include Louise Bourgeois’ ‘Janus in Leather Jacket’ (1968), Alina Szapocznikow’s sculpture ‘Ventre-coussin (Belly Cushion)’ (1968), complementing her forthcoming exhibition at Kunstmuseum Ravensburg, and William Kentridge’s bronze vessel ‘Fill’ (2017), anticipating his exhibitions at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Museum Folkwang in Germany later this year. Further contemporary works include a video installation ‘Marmelade Playhouse’ (2024) by Pipilotti Rist, the Swiss artist with a summer show at UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. In addition to a work on paper by Rita Ackermann, the presentation includes never-before-seen paintings by Zhang Enli and Angel Otero. Frank Bowling’s striking collaged canvas ‘Pink over yellow’ (2013) gives an insight to his exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Paris, on view from 22 March – 26 May 2025, which will explore the vital importance of collage within Bowling’s practice and thinking. The fair selection will also showcase European greats beyond the gallery’s roster, including historic artists Niki de Saint Phalle, Leonor Fini, Marianne von Werefkin and Carol Rama, in addition to key Swiss masters who complement Hauser & Wirth’s roots, such as Irène Zurkinden, Richard Paul Lohse, Louis Soutter, Verena Loewensberg and the German-Swiss Meret Oppenheim.
