Hauser & Wirth to Open 18th Location in Palo Alto by Spring 2026
Hauser & Wirth will open its 18th global location in Palo Alto, California, by spring 2026. The gallery will occupy a former early 20th-century post office at 201–225 Hamilton Avenue, near Stanford University. The 240-square-meter space will feature exhibition areas and an art bookstore, with large street-level windows. Renovation is led by Argentine architect Luis Laplace, a longtime collaborator who previously designed the gallery's Paris venue in a 19th-century hôtel particulier on the Rive Droite. Gallery president Marc Payot emphasized the Bay Area's significance, citing its community of collectors and museums, alongside Hauser & Wirth's existing presence in Los Angeles. The expansion underscores the gallery's commitment to Northern California as a cultural hub.
