Hauser & Wirth Editions

In conjunction with the New York Fine Art Print Fair, Hauser & Wirth is pleased to host a special presentation of editions. Printmaking is a critical element within the practice of many of Hauser & Wirth’s artists. For some, the blank plate or paper offers a space for pure material experimentation, a liberation from theory, and a return to the raw creative act. Others find comfort and respite in the precision required by the etching plate or the rigid mechanics of the press, which become the antithesis to the ambiguity and accidental nature of paint, charcoal, or clay. The resulting prints offer powerful insights into creative processes and allow viewers to better understand artists’ perspectives on the world.

Works on view represent the breadth of Hauser & Wirth’s editions program, including prints published by the gallery in close collaboration with artists such as Ida Applebroog. The presentation will also feature independent projects by the gallery’s artists, with suites of prints from Rita Ackermann, Martin Creed, Matthew Day Jackson, Anna Maria Maiolino, Dieter Roth, and Anj Smith.
