HAUSER & WIRTH

Hauser & Wirth a été fondé en 1992 à Zurich par Iwan Wirth, Manuela Wirth et Ursula Hauser.

Structure de famille défendant une vision internationale, Hauser & Wirth représente plus de 90 artistes et Estates, répartis dans 19 galeries à travers le monde, qui ont contribué à façonner son identité et qui sont la source d’inspiration de ses activités dans les domaines de l’art, de l’éducation, de la conservation et du développement durable.

Située au cœur de Monaco, à proximité de l’emblématique Hôtel de Paris, la galerie de Hauser & Wirth, vaste de 290 m2 avec 9 mètres de hauteur sous plafond, se déploie sous une spectaculaire ouverture lumineuse encastrée au sein d’un escalier en terrasse elliptique. La galerie fait partie d’un large complexe conçu par Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, appartenant à la Société des Bains de Mer. La reconversion du site a été confiée à Selldorf Architects (New York), qui conçoit des espaces pour Hauser and Wirth dans le monde entier depuis la création de la galerie en 1992.

Ouvert du mardi au samedi, de 10h à 19h

Larry Bell: Works from the 1970s

4 June – 31 August 2024

The exhibition focuses on Larry Bell’s architecturally scaled works from the 1970s, particularly his standing walls, marking a shift in his practice towards free-standing glass panels joined with silicone. These monumental works depart from his earlier metal-framed sculptures, exploring architectural and mural geometries beyond the pure form of the cube. The display includes four large-scale glass sculptures from the early 1970s and ‘Moving Ways’, a monumental late 1970s wall work, showcasing Bell’s contribution to minimalism and corporeal phenomenology. The exhibition features rare, museum-quality pieces primarily from an important Italian collection, Panza Collection, including ‘Untitled’ (1970). Bell, a renowned artist from the Los Angeles art scene of the 1960s, is known for his innovative surface of treatment of glass, harness light, reflection, and shadow. Since 1969, he has employed his high-vacuum coating system to deposit this metal films onto glass surfaces, extending his exploration into paper with ‘vapor drawings’ in 1978. The exhibition also highlights Bell’s recent work, such as ‘The Blue Gate’ (2021), showcasing his mastery of color and complex forms through monochrome color-laminated glass.
