Hauser & Wirth Invite(s)
​Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) is a recent initiative to host fellow artists, galleries and writers at our gallery spaces, offering wider visibility of their work and ideas and to engage with Zurich’s vibrant creative community. The program reflects our longstanding commitment to building a sense of connection in the places where it works, collaborating with artists, or estates, who may benefit from an additional platform, galleries of different scale and writers addressing new audiences, all in support of a sustainable art ecosystem. By hosting fellow artists, galleries and writers, we offer wider visibility of their work and ideas to engage with each city’s vibrant creative community.

Organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément, Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) launched in Paris in February 2025. Returning to Zurich for its third presentation in the city, the project featuring recent paintings from Patrick Salutt will be located on the ground floor of our Limmatstrasse gallery and will complement our ongoing series of exhibitions by gallery artists on the upper floor.

About the exhibition
​The third Zurich presentation of Invite(s) features a solo exhibition by Swiss artist Patrick Salutt, presented in collaboration with the artist’s gallery theStable. A new text by Matthew M. Williams. will accompany the exhibition. On view through 20 December, the presentation continues the spirit of Invite(s) by creating an open framework for exchange, experimentation and visibility within Hauser & Wirth’s Zurich location.

About Patrick Salutt
​Born and raised in the Engadin mountains in Switzerland, Patrick Salutt’s early life revolved around professional skiing and cow herding. Leaving his Heimat to study arts and architecture, he found himself longing for the brutal, raw poetry of his alpine upbringing.

After a decade in Vienna, Berlin and Paris, he now spends his summers in a wooden open-air barn in the Engadin mountains, painting large scale oil paintings with the tenderness of aquarelles and the physicality of chainsaw sculptures.

Here, time and nature coincide—frozen in alpine traditions, ancestral memories resurface—mute, humbled, violent.
