In adapting the century-old site, we will continue our longstanding commitment to supporting the cultural and architectural heritage of communities. The Palo Alto location will be designed by architect Luis Laplace, a longtime collaborator of the gallery and Principal of Laplace, an award-winning firm with an established reputation in creating cultural spaces, including our Paris location in a 19th-century hôtel particulier on the Right Bank.

Marc Payot, President, said ‘California—the defining role its artists, institutions, patrons, collectors and geographic attributes have played in the evolution of modern and contemporary art—has been integral to Hauser & Wirth’s vision and program since our founding more than three decades ago. Los Angeles, where we maintain important spaces in the Downtown Arts District and West Hollywood, is a globally recognized hub of cultural production and home to many of the exceptional artists we represent. But Northern California occupies an equally powerful position as home to a fantastically dedicated community of collectors and the museums they have built. Perched in its prime spot on the edge of the Pacific Rim and populated by generations of astute and ambitious patrons of the arts, the Bay Area is a place where we are proud to be creating a new space, an energy center for our artists and the community.’
