We are happy to announce that the gallery now exclusively represents the estate of celebrated American artist Susan Rothenberg (1945 – 2020).

On the occasion of ‘Resilience of Scale,’ on view at our Wooster Street location in New York, and as part of the gallery’s ongoing learning initiatives, Thomas J Price welcomed students and emerging artists for an ‘Art Work’ exhibition walkthrough in dialogue with curator Yelena Keller. 

This summer, we are pleased to present two multifaceted works by Dieter Roth (1930 – 1998) within the Roth Bar in Somerset.

The dedicated showcase highlights the artist’s profound connection with the island and its natural environment, as well as local materials he was able to work with during time spent in Menorca. The presentation includes early works on paper from the 1970s, Chamotte clay sculptures made during the 1980s and later work in Corten steel. ‘Saludo a los Pájaros II (Salute to the Birds II)’ (2000) is visible beyond the gallery window, surrounded by trees and views of the harbour. Appearing almost weightless, the sculpture denotes Chillida’s mastery of material and form as well as his continuous passion for natural phenomena.

Presented alongside the gallery buildings are four outdoor sculptures by gallery artists, embedded in the natural landscape of Illa del Rei.

Conceived as a site-specific response to Mika Rottenberg and Cindy Sherman’s exhibitions, and inspired by the concept of ‘plasticity of identity,’ ‘Play Your Part’ is a performative and participatory installation that invites the audience into an immersive, symbolic journey guided by audio narration. Visitors become active participants, engaging both intellectually and physically with the theme of identity through a carefully choreographed experience.

The Trobades & Premis Mediterranis Albert Camus is an annual festival that hosts a series of events, performances and talks across Menorca. Centered on the figure of Albert Camus—an international symbol of rebellion, justice and humanism—the festival has welcomed over 120 speakers from 24 countries since 2017.

The Education Lab, ‘Our Imaginary World,’ invites reflection on art as a form of healing, self-reclamation and empowerment. It is inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle’s philosophy that creativity can serve as a therapeutic outlet and Jean Tinguely’s exploration of movement and transformation through kinetic art.

Frank Bowling’s exhibition ‘Collage’ is complemented by an academic program, the first of its kind for our Parisian gallery, driven by the shared passion for education and learning by Frank Bowling and Hauser & Wirth. This included a Study Day on Monday 28 April 2025 at the gallery, as well as workshops for school pupils from wider Paris regions.

Hauser & Wirth and Spike Island are delighted to announce Florence Fitzgerald-Allsopp as the recipient of the first Engagement Fellowship for South West-Based Curators 2025 – 2026.

‘The Struggle Against Terrorism’ (1934–35), a monumental landmark mural by Philip Guston and Reuben Kadish will be unveiled to the public on Friday, 31 January 2025 in a celebration honoring the masterwork’s resplendent restoration. Located in an 18th Century Baroque palace in Morelia, Mexico that today houses the Regional Museum of Michoacán, this significant artwork has been brought back to life, and conserved for generations to come, through an intensive collaboration between The Guston Foundation, Mexico’s Ministry of Culture and the National Center for the Conservation of Artistic and Architectural Heritage.

On the occasion of ‘Gustav Metzger. And Then Came the Environment’ at Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles, local art students from Cal State LA and ArtCenter were invited to the gallery for a walkthrough of the exhibition. Curatorial Senior Director Kate Fowle and the Learning team then facilitated a discussion about the pathbreaking late artist’s work and legacy. 

We are pleased to announce representation of London-based artist Christina Kimeze. Replete with expressive materiality, Kimeze’s works invite the viewer’s contemplation in a parallel to the introspection of the figures who are protagonists in her paintings. As Kimeze says, ‘I return to the idea of this intimate inner life and how we spend most of our lives just with ourselves and with our own thoughts.’
