Gallen , Switzerland. So as not to clash with his attendance at school, the gallery is open only on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and Sundays. In , Iwan Wirth moves to Zurich and begins to work as a private dealer. It is here that he first meets Ursula Hauser , an art collector and retail magnate, who helps him to fund the purchase of works by Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall. In , Ursula Hauser and Iwan Wirth open a gallery together in the first-floor apartment of an Art Deco villa on Sonneggstrasse, a quiet, residential street in Zurich , where Iwan Wirth has been living for a year.
Gallen, and as a teenager I ran a gallery there. And of course, Ernst Beyeler! The Zurich institutions in those years that I still remember well are the Shedhalle in the Rote Fabrik and of course the Kunsthalle.
I moved to Zurich in to Sonneggstrasse The art market was stuck in a deep recession, and commercial interest in contemporary art was at a low point. These publications mark the beginning of an active role in art publishing for the gallery. Instead, it is used as a private apartment where the gallerists and artists live during their visits to the city. In , the gallery approaches the influential video and installation artist Nam June Paik to conceive a project for an empty industrial space on Hardturmstrasse in the industrial area of Zurich-West.
The energy we found there in Zurich-West was more exciting than anything we had previously experienced in Zurich or anywhere else. And for us everything changed with the move to the Schoeller Complex, to the former spaces of Marc Jancou at Hardturmstrasse There I was suddenly meeting the international art world slurping up soup made by artists.
For the accompanying exhibition catalog, curator Dorothea Zwirner invites a number of artists, including Mike Kelley , Paul McCarthy and Jason Rhoades , to answer five questions about Marcel Broodthaers , inspiring an array of poetic and visual responses. What seemed to be a devastating tragedy for art turned into the greatest opportunity of the next two decades. This begins a long-term friendship with Iwan Wirth marked by numerous meetings and in-depth discussions of what constitutes a contemporary collection.
Over the course of , Iwan Wirth makes several trips to Los Angeles. And we were talking about the riots and he was telling us that they were in the studio at the time while the riots broke out nearby. Jason Rhoades and his wife, Rachel Khedoori — who joins the gallery in — develop a deep friendship with Ursula and Manuela Hauser , and Iwan Wirth , in whom they find kindred spirits. Later, when Dan Graham visits Switzerland, Ursula and Manuela Hauser , Iwan Wirth , and their family take him — an architecture enthusiast — to stay at Therme Vals, a hotel complex designed by renowned architect Peter Zumthor and built over a thermal spring.
Manuela Hauser and Iwan Wirth get married. Realized in collaboration with The Estate of Joseph Cornell , the exhibition presents 10 box constructions and 10 collages for the first time in Switzerland. We usually brought some chocolates. The studio visits were very focused on the work. She would listen very carefully, she was a good listener!
That touched me, very deeply. I took in the whole Spider story. That interested me the most, and that was the beginning.
I showed some works from the 70s. I was so excited and proud of the work and of my partnership with Pat Hearn. However, Iwan Wirth came to that show. He was helping Ursula Hauser make a collection of the work of women artists. Louise [Bourgeois], Agnes [Martin], like that. Initially planned as a straightforward exhibition catalog, the publication takes several years to realize and transforms into an extensive artist book made by Mary Heilmann and Mark Magill.
Swiss artist, Roman Signer b. Gallen and in danger of being destroyed by the new owner. I was often in St. Gallen but I had never run across him. And then I met him; at the time he had an art dealership at Sonneggstrasse in Zurich.
I used to visit him there, and he organized exhibitions too, at Hardturmstrasse. Good, and then suddenly I heard that he wanted to marry Manuela. So there was the wedding and the gallery opened up.
And I was able to have a show there. Swiss video artist, Pipilotti Rist b. Iwan Wirth discovers that Paul McCarthy — who has a keen interest in mountaineering — is a Swiss enthusiast.
