Arshile Gorky: Beyond The Limit / Hauser & Wirth Zürich

Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse 1, currently presents the newly discovered painting ‘Untitled (Virginia Summer)’, 1946-47 by Arshile Gorky (1904-1948). The painting is displayed for the first time in Europe, alongside Gorky's well-known work ‘The Limit’, 1947, under which it was hidden until its discovery during restoration work in Zurich in 2020. The exhibition at Hauser & Wirth presents both paintings side-by-side as well as a selection of works on paper directly related to ‘Untitled (Virginia Summer)’. This video provides you with a look at the exhibition and an interview with Saskia Spender, Arshile Gorky’s granddaughter and president of the Arshile Gorky Foundation.

Saskia Spender is a ceramicist and lives in London. In this video, she talks about the surprising discovery of the work that has been hidden for so long, the connections between the two paintings and the drawings, Arshile Gorky's life, the Arshile Gorky Foundation and the Arshile Gorky Catalogue Raisonné, as well as new insights gained from the discovery.

Arshile Gorky: Beyond The Limit. Solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Zürich. Zürich (Switzerland), February 3, 2022.
