Steidlville

In 2000, David Zwirner and Iwan Wirth opened Zwirner & Wirth, a gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan which they jointly operated for roughly a decade. Zwirner & Wirth differed from their respective primary market galleries (David Zwirner, New York and Hauser & Wirth, London and Zurich) in its focus on private sales in the secondary market and the development of a historically-researched exhibitions and publications program devoted to the work of modern and contemporary masters.

The ten-year collaboration yielded a series of extraordinary, critically acclaimed exhibitions, including Gerhard Richter: Early Paintings (2000); Bruce Nauman (2001); Martin Kippenberger (2002); Cy Twombly: Letter of Resignation (2002/2003); Fred Sandback (2004, 2006/2007, and 2009); Marlene Dumas (2005); Claes Oldenburg: Early Work (2005); David Hammons (2006); Joseph Beuys: Sculpture and Drawing (2007); and Dan Flavin: the 1964 Green Gallery exhibition (2008).

Zwirner & Wirth Ten Years will commemorate the history of the gallery, documenting the exhibitions the two gallerists have organized together over the past decade. Filled with color plates of individual artworks and archival installation views of exhibitions, this publication will present outstanding examples of Modern and Contemporary artistic practices, featuring Pop, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and other key movements in the history of 20th Century art by artists as varied as Alice Neel, René Magritte, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Franz West, Georg Baselitz, Lee Bontecou, Donald Judd, Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Blinky Palermo, and Richard Serra, among others.
