Join us to celebrate the opening of the solo exhibitions ‘Francis Picabia. Expanding Horizons’ and ‘Roni Horn. Seizure of Hope’ at Hauser & Wirth London.

Francis Picabia (1879 – 1953) is one of the most influential and essential artists of the 20th Century. His career and worldview were marked by ceaseless experimentation, and his oeuvre demonstrated a rapid progression through various artistic movements, which included Impressionism, Fauvism, Dadaism and Cubism. Seeking to shed light across every area of Picabia’s practice, a wide-ranging exhibition on the artist will be presented in London this spring, organized in collaboration with the Comité Picabia.

For her first exhibition in London in a decade, Roni Horn will present never before exhibited works on paper from her new Seizure of Hope series, which explores Horn’s preoccupation with repetition and the utilization of the written word as a medium. Accompanying her drawings is one of her renowned glass sculptures; taking the form of a cube, the work is a rare example of Horn’s cast objects.

Tickets are free, with no advance booking required. Complimentary drinks will be served upon arrival.

Please be advised that a one-in, one-out system might be in effect to manage queues. If we reach capacity in the gallery, we will ask you to queue for a short time.

The exhibitions are on view from 21 May through 1 August.
