Hauser & Wirth New York
Hauser & Wirth New York gallery's location at 542 West 22nd Street is its first purpose-built structure from the ground up. This is one of the Best Galleries In NYC. The 36,000 square foot building, designed by Selldorf Architects, was intended to be a home for art and artists, putting the on-view pieces at the center of the visitor's experience. The five-story structure has distinctive, well-proportioned spaces, plenty of natural light, and adaptable layouts.
The building, which is in the Chelsea Arts District, was thoughtfully and contextually designed to take into account the unique historic character of the area. The '7000 Oaks' project by Joseph Beuys, which was started in Kassel, Germany, in 1982, was also housed in this far West Chelsea block of 22nd Street. Dia sponsored the project's planting along this section of 22nd Street in 1988.
The new building on 22nd Street includes a number of long-term, site-specific artist interventions, similar to those found in many of Hauser & Wirth's other locations. Both locations serve as platforms for Hauser & Wirth's roster of prominent international artists, which includes luminaries like Louise Bourgeois, Martin Creed, and Roni Horn, as well as the countless estates of significant historical individuals, including Philip Guston.
