Hauser & Wirth

Gorgeous gallery. The Max Bill and Georges Vantongerloo exhibition was great. A rare Max Bill exhibition in New York City. The Lorna Simpson exhibition was also a definite highlight, witty, thought-provoking, and very beautiful. I also loved the Lucio Fontana: Sculpture show with some surprising "baroque" sculptures by an artist known for his minimalist paintings. Another exquisite exhibition was "Exemplary Modern. Sophie Taeuber-Arp with Contemporary Artists", which features seminal artworks by Taeuber-Arp along with artworks by three contemporary artists inspired by Taeuber-Arp.

One of the best galleries in town. High-quality and well-curated shows. The gallery people here are much friendlier than the galleries in Chelsea.

Cute and very well curated gallery, love the exhibitions they usually carry

What a wonderful little gallery. I stopped by to check out the Cindy Sherman exhibit and was not disappointed. I would have liked more information posted about the art, but they did include a collection of her art books to look through and read up upon the art. I'll add that the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Due to the small size of the gallery, it felt like it would be perfect for small, personal exhibits. If they are showing an artist you know or are curious about, I suggest you check it out.

Stunning show of Cindy Sherman and a beautiful art gallery

Amazing exhibit. Friendly and informative staff.

Bright & airy inside, friendly staff.

I can't wait until they return to paper information sheets. I haven't bought anything since galleries stopped providing those.

Nice gallery, quite a few floors but not every floor is always opened to the public..some are private. No matter where you go a staff will always follow you and they try not to make it obvious but it is. Totally get why they have to but it's just hilarious. Nice exhibitions and good staffs on the first floor. Nice attitude and helpful. It's a gallery so no fee and a few catalogues at the front that you can browse through. Subway at walking distance so it's not hard to find. Usually 11-5 and you have to buzz to get in. There are both elevator and stair

I would give this six stars if I could... the Paul McCarthy show there is beyond amazing. This is art that takes questions of representation and the figure head on, without any abstruse conceptual games but with a lot of spirit and guts--the result is a visceral wrenching experience. [Note: This review contains SPOILERS so don't read it if you're going to go see this Paul McCarthy show (closes July 26)] When you walk in you immediately see a young woman, so still that you know it's a sculpture, but so lifelike you have to make sure it's not breathing. She's on a rectangular pedestal, naked, leaning back on her palms, her legs stretched forward and spread. She has a highly expressive vagina that raspberries the viewer, its pouty outer lips loosely gripping the protruding tongue of the inner ones. There are several copies of her, making it all the more uncanny as you begin to recognizes the traces of craftsmanship and artifice. But still when I got to the second floor and saw all the monitors showing footage of the casting process, for a split second I couldn't believe that it wasn't animation. They were so HD that this woman, whom I'd seen sculpted downstairs and now alive and moving--the brightly rendered digital image of her body looked UNreal. I spent a good twenty minutes watching the model as she sat still on the podium, surrounded by fabricators and camera men working quickly to capture her image, both on video and in the mold. She got covered in blue goo and caked in plaster... and in the end they finally cut it all off, and she crawled out of her floppy blue skin like a molting snake. Finally, I went back downstairs on my way out... and was stopped in my tracks by the sculptures, which I now saw with totally new eyes. These things that had looked so lifelike to me upon first encounter now seemed pathetically fake. I could clearly see all the imperfections, the rubbery properties of the silicone flesh, all the differences between the mold and the model's HD body. Suddenly the whole thing reeked of death. Shivers down my spine.

Great new addition to the New York gallery scene!
