‘EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE IS REAL’ –– Pablo Picasso

Hauser & Wirth’s booth at Art Basel Miami Beach presents a multigenerational, transhistorical array ofworks that embody the imagination and expressive genius of modern and contemporary masters bothwithin the gallery’s program and beyond.

Among the highlights are:

**Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973), ‘L’enfant à l’orange (Child with an Orange)’ (1951)**

Exceedingly rare and even more rarely seen, this enchanting and beautifully rendered painting from aprivate Swiss collection enshrines the childhood of Picasso’s daughter with partner and fellow artistFrançoise Gilot, and was kept by Picasso in his personal collection––remaining in his estate until passingto his son Claude after the artist’s death.

**Philip Guston (1913 – 1980), ‘Grove I’ (1959)**

An urgently physical masterpiece from the pivotal decade of Guston’s career when his struggle to reconcile gestural and field painting with figuration and abstraction, coalesced into what would become a newlanguage of art.

**Louise Bourgeois (1911 – 2010), Five Works from the 1940s to 2000s**

Spanning six decades, this grouping of rare works by Bourgeois celebrates the artist’s unrivaled mastery ofexpression in every possible material, from paint, fabric and beads, to marble, bronze and steel.

**Firelei Báez, ‘Let Love Be Your Guide’ (2025)**

Báez has created a luminous new large-scale work that conjures both the natural and imaginary realms, presagingher solo exhibition opening at Hauser & Wirth New York in May 2026 when her vast, site-specific mural commission will be simultaneously unveiled at New Terminal One, John F. Kennedy International Airport.

**Avery Singer, ‘White Street (v. 2)’ (2023 – 2025)**

Calling upon the formal aesthetics of Constructivism and Futurism in near-grisaille, Singer’s stately and enigmatic‘portrait’ of an isolated Tribeca building evokes a permanent night in the neighborhood of her childhood in order toconvey the complex emotional landscape of life in the years since 9/11.

**Barbara Chase-Riboud, ‘La Musica Amnesia Red’ (2024)**

A powerful vermillion sculpture in bronze and silk cords––one of the most recent in the artist’s ongoing 35-year LaMuscia series––finds Chase-Riboud paying tribute to Josephine Baker while demonstrating her mastery of starklycontrasting materials to define new fronteirs of expression.

**Lee Bul and Qiu Xiaofei: Introducing the Newest Members of Hauser & Wirth’s Roster**

Having recently joined the gallery and representing two very different generations, Seoul-based master Lee Buland Qiu Xiaofei, who lives and works in Beijing, will debut virtuoso paintings that materialize their respective visionsof a world shaped by memory and societal change, brilliance and cruelty.
