The European home of the international editorial team continues to be led by Dr. Michaela Unterdörfer, who has helmed Hauser & Wirth Publishers since 2005, alongside the imprint’s New York City location at 18th Street. In addition to the editorial studio, visitors to the new Zurich location can experience and purchase the full range of Hauser & Wirth Publishers’ titles and back issues of Ursula magazine.

In keeping with Hauser & Wirth’s artist-centric vision, Hauser & Wirth Publishers strives to transport readers into the universe of artists and provide in-depth insights behind the scenes of creative practices. At Bäckerstrasse, Stefan Brüggemann has been commissioned to create a new site-specific art installation featuring the artist’s signature text-based work and punk aesthetic. Brüggemann’s work will take over the entire façade of the street level windows, which extend around the ground floor exterior, and continue inside the location itself.

The building was originally conceived by Swiss architect Theo Hotz, with the new home for Hauser & Wirth Publishers taking over the ground floor and marking the next milestone for the gallery’s publishing universe. Beyond Bäckerstrasse, Hauser & Wirth continues to welcome visitors to galleries at the Löwenbräukunst and at Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich.
