Iwan Wirth, President and Co-Founder of Hauser & Wirth, says:
'As we all continue to master the art of displaying works online, we're looking forward to more digital fireworks at FIAC's first virtual art fair in the run up to their physical presentation this October. FIAC's online platform is one of the best we've seen so far.'
