Manuela Wirth on Transforming Hauser & Wirth into so Much More than a Gallery

‘We always say our gallery is like a big family. But it’s mutual—they teach us so much. We give love, support, and advice to all our artists. Some take our advice to heart, some perhaps want little of that advice. Just like our kids!’

And Then Came Gustav Metzger

'Metzger’s hand is evident in all his work, but also in our popular culture, and our present intellectual, artistic, environmental, and existential dramas. Metzger’s body of work speaks to the personal, political, and artistic – even if you have never heard of Metzger before.’
