Art gallery
Hauser & Wirth
901-909 E 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90013, USA
Contemporary art complex inside a restored early twentieth century flour mill.
This guide to Hauser & Wirth in downtown LA starts in 1992 Zurich, where a teenage art dealer named Iwan Wirth found backing from businesswoman Ursula Hauser, and how the family became one of contemporary art's biggest gallery names after Iwan fell for her daughter. You'll hear how that gallery landed in a derelict flour mill dating to the 1890s, once run by Pillsbury and later abandoned as artists moved into the empty warehouses around it. It follows the two years spent restoring rather than replacing the old brick and graffiti.
