Mirella Roma Appointed Chief Executive Officer of Hauser & Wirth

‘Mirella has been integral to our senior team for 27 years, joining us five years after the gallery was founded in 1992,’ says Iwan Wirth. ‘As Hauser & Wirth’s new dedicated CEO, she brings an invaluable depth of knowledge both of our history and our current business combined with an exceptional understanding of our artists, our team and the wider landscape of the art world. Mirella’s leadership skills will be invaluable as we continue to evolve and create new avenues for our vision of what a gallery can do and be in the future.’

Ewan Venters, who has been CEO of Hauser & Wirth and Artfarm since January 2021, has stepped down from the gallery to concentrate on new ventures. He will remain CEO of Artfarm until January 2025 or the appointment of a new CEO for the business.

‘We are grateful to Ewan for the energy and dynamism he has brought to us as joint CEO of the gallery and Artfarm,’ comments Iwan Wirth. ‘He goes with our sincere gratitude, and we wish him every success in his future endeavors.’

‘Artfarm has benefited enormously from Ewan’s vision and expertise,’ says Lord Mervyn Davies, Chair of Artfarm. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Ewan and under his leadership Artfarm group has grown internationally. He leaves the business in a great place with exciting plans for the future.’
