Hauser & Wirth Expands with New Spaces and Artist Signings

Hauser & Wirth Somerset hosted Matthew Day Jackson's exhibition Pathetic Fallacy in March, attracting a visit from the British monarch, highlighting the gallery's influential connections. The gallery's expansion includes a St Moritz location opened in December, a Zürich bookshop serving as the publishing headquarters, and a planned Menorca space with an education program and restaurant set for 2020. Recent artist signings such as Ed Clark, Annie Leibovitz, Glenn Ligon, Mika Rottenberg, Nicolas Party, and the estate of John Chamberlain have bolstered its roster. The Fife Arms in Aberdeenshire, the Wirths' first hospitality venture, was named The Sunday Times Hotel of the Year 2019, offering collectors exclusive lifestyle access. Iwan and Manuela Wirth, alongside US-based partner Marc Payot, continue to drive this growth through strategic acquisitions and diverse venues.
