Hauser & Wirth's Hong Kong and Zurich galleries are now open

ZURICH.- Hauser & Wirth is once again welcoming visitors to its galleries in Hong Kong and Zurich to see work by artists in person.

Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong is now open with a new group presentation which will be followed on 16 June by the first exhibition by Lorna Simpson in Greater China. Hauser & Wirth Zürich reopened two exhibitions, ‘Günther Förg. surface of bronze’ and ‘Luchita Hurtado. Just Down the Street’, which were on view for just 48 hours before the lockdown began in Switzerland. Hauser & Wirth is also welcoming visitors to the bookshop in Hauser & Wirth Publishers headquarters in Zurich.

While the galleries in Hong Kong and Zurich are the first to reopen, more locations will follow in the coming months. In each case, Hauser & Wirth is taking careful measures as the galleries open, including monitoring numbers, to keep team and visitors safe while allowing intimate encounters with art.
