Arte Povera. Curated by Ingvild Goetz

September 12 – October 28, 2017

Hauser & Wirth presents with Arte Povera. Curated by Ingvild Goetz a comprehensive overview of Italy’s highly innovative twentieth-century art movement, curated by one of its most important collectors. Ringing in a new era of artistic practice, Arte Povera emerged fifty years ago against the backdrop of a political and social reawakening that defined Italy in the 1960s and ‘70s, and challenged traditional definitions of art by championing radical approaches to form and process. The exhibition in New York features more than 150 works from many of Arte Povera’s leading figures from the Sammlung Goetz.

With Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Prini, Gilberto Zorio as well as Claudio Abate, Giorgio Colombo and Paolo Mussat Sartor.

Cindy Sherman

March 17 – June 27, 2026 | Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

The staging of female role models in photographic self-portraits is the predominant theme in the work of American artist Cindy Sherman. To this end, Sherman references stereotypes of collective visual memory in a media-driven world. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster highlights works from Sherman’s fashion series, created between 1983 and 1994. Thanks to her passion for costumes and masquerade, the world of fashion has been an expansive playing field for her artistic exploration.
