On Collecting : Panza Collection Archives

4 Sep-15 Sep 2018

Overview

Hauser & Wirth is proud to present, ‘On Collecting. Panza Collection Archives’. This exhibition, project space and series of events explore the archives and practices of Giuseppe and Giovanna Panza, the internationally renowned collectors who, over more than five decades, built an extraordinary contemporary art collection including works by minimal and conceptual artists from both America and Europe. The presentation features archival material presented for the first time and a series of plywood paintings by Ford Beckman. Sol LeWitt’s ‘Wall Drawing No.54’ (1970) will be realised over the course of the exhibition as a performative action in the gallery space. A screening and series of public talks will accompany the exhibition and will expand on the topic of collecting as a concept.
