Press Release

Opening during Zurich Art Weekend 2026, ‘Sometimes a straight line has to be crooked’ is the first European exhibition bringing together the work of Henry Taylor, one of today’s most celebrated artists, in dialogue with that of his teacher, California modernist James Jarvaise (1924 – 2015). It is significant that Taylor’s debut at Hauser & Wirth in Zurich takes place in dialogue with Jarvaise—the artist who saw something special in Taylor when he was a student in the 1980s.

Concurrently on view, the Musée National Picasso-Paris is presenting the solo exhibition, ‘Henry Taylor. Where thoughts provoke,’ from 8 April – 6 September.

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.
