Introducing #artforbetter

‘In discussions with the Hauser & Wirth family, including our artists, over these past difficult weeks, it became clear that these critical times demand a charitable response,’ says Iwan Wirth. ‘We see ourselves as members of a worldwide community, and our support of the World Health Organization is a way to participate in an immediate humanitarian effort that supersedes borders.’ The WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund is a global effort helping countries to prevent, detect, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic, in order to ensure all nations are prepared, especially those with the weakest health care systems. ’Our new initiative #artforbetter is now a central part of our longstanding philanthropic framework at the gallery,’ Iwan Wirth explains, ‘and it will reach beyond this moment. We are developing major projects to launch in the mid- and long-term for the communities in which we play an active role.’ – Learn more about the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund at World Health Organization.
