Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) Returns to Zurich Featuring Works by Patrick Salutt
Returning to Zurich for its third presentation in the city, the project featuring recent paintings from Patrick Salutt will be located on the ground floor of our Limmatstrasse gallery and will complement our ongoing series of exhibitions by gallery artists on the upper floor.
Organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément, Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) is a recent initiative to host fellow artists, galleries and writers at our gallery spaces, offering wider visibility of their work and ideas and to engage with Zurich’s vibrant creative community.
The program reflects our longstanding commitment to building a sense of connection in the places where it works, collaborating with artists, or estates, who may benefit from an additional platform, galleries of different scale and writers addressing new audiences, all in support of a sustainable art ecosystem. By hosting fellow artists, galleries and writers, we offer wider visibility of their work and ideas to engage with each city’s vibrant creative community.
The exhibition is on view through Saturday 20 December.
Join us for the opening reception on Thursday 13 November, 6 – 9 pm.

About Patrick Salutt
Born and raised in the Engadin mountains in Switzerland, Patrick Salutt’s early life revolved around professional skiing and cow herding. Leaving his Heimat to study arts and architecture, he found himself longing for the brutal, raw poetry of his alpine upbringing.
After a decade in Vienna, Berlin and Paris, he now spends his summers in a wooden open-air barn in the Engadin mountains, painting large scale oil paintings with the tenderness of aquarelles and the physicality of chainsaw sculptures. Here, time and nature coincide—frozen in alpine traditions, ancestral memories resurface— mute, humbled, violent.
