Hauser & Wirth is proud to now represent celebrated American artist Glenn Ligon
His critically acclaimed work, both political and personal, encompasses painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, and installation works. Ligon is perhaps best known for his text-based paintings that draw upon the influential words of leading 20th-century cultural figures, including Walt Whitman, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston, Jean Genet, Gertrude Stein, and Richard Pryor, among others.
