Exhibition Hauser & Wirth

The Facts

Hauser & Wirth has announced it will present two major exhibitions with American artist George Condo in 2027 at its Paris and Palo Alto locations. Featuring new and historical works, the pair of shows continues the gallery's history of solo presentations with Condo in New York, Los Angeles, and London. The announcement follows Condo's acclaimed 2025 career survey at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, which the Financial Times described as accentuating his sustained virtuosity and diverse forms of expression. In a statement, Condo expressed excitement about the upcoming exhibitions, citing his long-standing inspiration from Paris and curiosity about bringing new art to Palo Alto, the birthplace of technology.

The Signal

The dual-location strategy signals Hauser & Wirth's commitment to pairing Condo's established market strength with new geographic reach, particularly in Palo Alto, a hub for tech wealth and a growing audience for contemporary art. For collectors, the 2027 shows may offer opportunities to acquire works from a major figure whose market has remained robust, while the Paris venue reinforces his institutional standing in Europe. The exhibitions also highlight a trend of galleries expanding beyond traditional art capitals to engage with emerging collector bases, a move that could influence how other dealers approach programming in non-traditional markets.
