We are pleased to announce that the gallery will extend its longstanding West Coast presence with a new space in Northern California. Located in Palo Alto, this new Bay Area site will complement our robust program in Los Angeles, where we opened our Downtown LA Arts District complex in 2016 and a second location in West Hollywood in 2023. Our Palo Alto location will open in Spring 2026.

‘The studio is an enlarged head. The images on the walls of the room and their movement stand in for the emergence and movement of thoughts in the head. The world is invited into the studio. There it is fragmented. The fragments are rearranged and sent back out into the world as a drawing, a performance, or a text.’—William Kentridge

In fall 2024, Hauser & Wirth Learning launched a new partnership with The New Art School Modality, an innovative and alternative art school model that offers free participation to students via hybrid, online and in-person modules worldwide. The partnership continued this spring with two hybrid courses, ‘The Sun Ra Course’ and ‘Notes from the Artist’s Studio’ held at Hauser & Wirth 18^th Street.

In a collaborative exhibition by Société and Hauser & Wirth, opening on 10 September 2025 during Berlin Art Week at Société’s Charlottenburg gallery, ‘States of Being’ assembles works by thirty artists.

We are delighted to continue our partnership with Drawing Matter for the ninth iteration of Architecture Summer School. Taking place Wednesday 27 August – Saturday 30 August 2025, this unique program has been widely praised by students as providing an unrivalled insight into architecture and the associated professions.

Since Hauser & Wirth Somerset’s launch in 2014, the gallery has worked in partnership with 14 charitable organizations, institutions and local businesses across the South West of England. Each year, a new local charity is supported through visitor entrance donations and community events, providing a platform to promote ongoing initiatives and increase awareness to a broader audience.

The Education Lab ‘Mentoring Moments’ explores the transformative power of mentors who impact, nurture and inspire. Henry Taylor has credited artist and educator James Jarvaise with being a pivotal figure in his development as an artist, offering unwavering encouragement, constructive support and critical guidance. In honor of this mentorship, the lab invites reflection on the many mentors in one's life.  

In collaboration with Arts for Healing and Justice Network, California State University Los Angeles Department of Art, Inner-City Arts, Luther Burbank Middle School and Ramón C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts, the Learning team invited over 100 participants, ranging from ages five to adulthood, to create a painting commemorating the meaningful impact of a mentor on their creative journey. In keeping with Taylor’s early practice, the artwork was made using repurposed materials—echoing his philosophy that creativity is not confined to traditional canvases.  

On the occasion of ‘Luchita Hurtado. Yo Soy,’ and as part of the gallery’s ongoing learning initiatives, the Hurtado estate collaborated with young creatives from Las Fotos Project. 

The Cindy Sherman Legacy Project (CSLP) is a new initiative established to apply and systematize best available technologies to protect the condition of artist Cindy Sherman’s works in the photographic medium. The goal of the CSLP is to ensure that future generations can view the artist’s works in the condition she intended and to support appreciation for, scholarship on, and further understanding of her ground-breaking oeuvre.

'The most beautiful Swiss books'—an annual competition of the Federal Office of Culture that rewards the quality of book design in Switzerland—has included ‘Constructive Clarity. Max Bill and His Time, 1940–1952’ written by Angela Thomas and published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers’ in this year’s selection.
