Press Release

Great friends as well as iconic artists of the American postwar period, Larry Bell and John Chamberlain each forged distinct careers by harnessing the new technologies of their time to transform everyday materials into pathbreaking works of art. Yet little is known of the formative dialogue between them that helped shape their respective artistic practices and the language of 20th-century art. On 4 August 2022, Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles will present the first exhibition to date that focuses on Bell and Chamberlain’s exchange of ideas as revealed through series of works – some never before exhibited – that include sculpture, works on paper, and photography.

About the Gallery

Hauser & Wirth was founded in 1992 in Zurich by Iwan Wirth, Manuela Wirth and Ursula Hauser, who were joined in 2000 by Partner and Vice President Marc Payot. A family business with a global outlook, Hauser & Wirth has expanded over the past 26 years to include outposts in Hong Kong, London, New York, Los Angeles, Somerset and Gstaad. The gallery represents over 70 artists and estates who have been instrumental in shaping its identity over the past quarter century, and who are the inspiration for Hauser & Wirth’s diverse range of activities that engage with art, education, conservation and sustainability.
