Luta Continua : the Sylvio Perlstein Collection

de Iwan Wirth, Matthieu Humery, Marc Payot, Sylvio Perlstein, David Rosenberg

Hauser & Wirth is delighted to present A Luta Continua, an exhibition of the Sylvio Perlstein Collection. This is the first presentation of the Perlstein collection in Asia. Over the course of more than five decades, Perlstein has assembled an intensely personal collection rooted in a passion for the work of groundbreaking artists. The Collection traces the course of twentieth-century art, from Dada and Surrealism to Abstraction, Land Art, Conceptual Art, Minimal Art, Pop Art, Op Art, Arte Povera, Nouveau Réalisme, and Contemporary Art. But above all, A Luta Continua testifies to the power of connoisseurship and collecting as a talent, an art in itself. The exhibition focuses on four main pillars of the Perlstein collection: Dada & Surrealism, vintage photography from the twentieth-century, Minimalism, and a compilation of contemporary artists Perlstein is deeply passionate about. There are around 200 works on view by some 112 artists. Among these are Josef Albers, Carl Andre, Diane Arbus, Hans Bellmer, André Breton, Marcel Broodthaers, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Hannah Höch, Jenny Holzer, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, René Magritte, Man Ray, Bruce Nauman, Brice Marden, Robert Morris, Edward Ruscha, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback, and Andy Warhol. Exhibition: Hauser & Wirth, Hong Kong (23.05. - 27.07.2019).
