Now Open: Updates to our Global Locations
Our galleries in Hong Kong and Zurich and our garden in Somerset are now open
As a global community, we are now at a promising turning point as some of us emerge from lockdown. We are thrilled to share the news that our galleries in Hong Kong and Zurich and our garden in Somerset are now open.
We are welcoming visitors to Oudolf Field at Hauser & Wirth Somerset throughout June, Friday – Sunday, 10 am – 4 pm. In order to share a safe and positive experience, we ask that you book a timed reservation and read our visitor guidelines in full before you arrive. Entrance to the garden is free, however if you would like to join us in donating to local organizations—Black Swan Arts in Frome, Bruton Food Drop and The Balsam Centre in Wincanton—please do so when booking.
Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong opens with a new group presentation featuring work by Rita Ackermann, Louise Bourgeois, Larry Bell, Takesada Matsutani, and others. This will be followed by Lorna Simpson’s first exhibition in Greater China opening 16 June 2020. This will bring together the artist’s latest works from her Special Characters series, a selection of photographic collages, and new paintings.
Hauser & Wirth Zürich will open on Monday 11 May with two exhibitions, ‘Günther Förg. surface of bronze’ and ‘Luchita Hurtado. Just Down the Street'. Both shows were on view for just 48 hours before the lockdown began in Switzerland, so we are delighted to finally be able to open these to the public again, along with the bookshop in our Hauser & Wirth Publishers headquarters in Zurich.

The current situation has impacted us all in ways we never could have anticipated. While we have been apart from friends and families, our artists provide vital inspiration through their work. Many of us are still looking forward to being able to travel or see exhibitions. We will continue to connect you with our artists through our digital platforms, from our Dispatches series and online exhibitions, to our new virtual reality exhibition set in our gallery of the future in Menorca.
Art and creativity bring us together while we are in isolation. One of these special shared experiences was the screening of the documentary about Piet Oudolf, ‘Five Seasons’, which was watched by 1 million people online. While our galleries in Hong Kong and Zurich are the first to reopen, more locations will follow in the coming months. In each case, we are taking every precaution to keep our team and visitors safe while allowing intimate encounters with art.
