SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Hauser & Wirth will return to FOG Design+Art this year with a selection of exceptional works by gallery artists spanning generations and genres. Contemporary works by Larry Bell, Charles Gaines, Jeffrey Gibson, Rashid Johnson, William Kentridge, Glenn Ligon, Angel Otero, Mika Rottenberg, Pat Steir, Henry Taylor and Ambera Wellmann are complemented by important historic works by Arshile Gorky, Luchita Hurtado, Francis Picabia and Jack Whitten.
