Hauser & Wirth unveils its latest outpost today, Hauser & Wirth Somerset, set deep in the English countryside. It is the blue chip gallery’s sixth branch, after Zürich, London, Los Angeles, and a pair in New York.

Housed in an 18th century farmhouse in the outskirts of Bruton, in the West Country, this new venture is very much part of the commercial gallery’s family, but it champions a particularly philanthropic approach.

“It’s a place where we can do other things and experiment in different ways,” director Alice Workman told artnet News. “Artists can come and spend time through the residency program. It’s a place where we can really develop an education program.”
