Close to lake Zurich and the landmark Baur au Lac hotel, Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse is a home for exhibitions by the gallery’s artists’ estates.
Opening this November at Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse we bring together an exhibition showcasing a selection of Lehni’s unique collaborations with renowned artists that resulted in exceptional artworks and furniture. Artistic partnerships have been an integral part of the Swiss metal furniture company’s history for more than a century and they are a focal point of their ongoing commitment to crafting products of outstanding quality, sustainability and design. A series of furniture by the visionary Donald Judd will be on display, alongside works by Swiss artist Max Bill, as well as sculptures by Sol LeWitt. The exhibition will also highlight a series of artists’ portraits by Doris Lehni-Quarella, a trained photographer who helmed the company in the 1980s and ‘90s.

Hauser & Wirth launched the gallery’s new space at Bahnhofstrasse with an exhibition of works by Hans Arp titled ‘Arp: Art is a Fruit’, in Zurich’s historic central cultural district. Helmed by Partner and Executive Director, James Koch, the space will focus on exhibitions by the 35 artists’ estates represented by the gallery and will be a headquarters for Hauser & Wirth’s increasing private sales activity.
Centrally located close to Lake Zurich and adjacent to the landmark Baur au Lac hotel, the conversion of the ground floor at Bahnhofstrasse into a gallery space is being overseen by Swiss architectural practice, Schmidlin Architekten. The floor to ceiling windows of the ground floor gallery space create a strong street presence on the legendary Bahnhofstrasse. The new venue complements Hauser & Wirth’s existing galleries in Switzerland in Zurich, St. Moritz and Gstaad and the Hauser & Wirth Publishers’ HQ. In each location, the goal is to create strong, well-proportioned spaces that place the art on view at the forefront of the experience.
