The Art Event of Winter 2025: Hauser & Wirth Sets New York Ablaze
George Condo, Camille Henrot, Catherine Goodman, and Dieter Roth Rewrite the Rules of Creative Expression – By Shari Inessa 

Darlings, winter in New York is about to become absolutely electric! Hauser & Wirth has curated a spellbinding lineup of exhibitions that will melt away the chill and ignite your creative soul. From mesmerizing pastels to provocative sculptures, this season’s offerings are nothing short of sensational. Here’s your exclusive guide to the unmissable magic ahead.✨

George Condo: Pastels
Two locations: Hauser & Wirth, 134 Wooster Street (Jan 29 – Apr 12), Sprüth Magers, 22 East 80th Street (Jan 15 – Mar 1)

Prepare to dive headfirst into the kaleidoscopic psyche of George Condo. With exhibitions spanning two illustrious galleries, this is Condo in his most unfiltered, improvisational glory. The artist wields pastel like a jazz musician riffing on a melody—bold, spontaneous, and utterly riveting. Each piece feels like a revelation, a map of emotions that only Condo could draw. Trust me, you’ll leave these shows with your mind deliciously fragmented and your heart strangely whole.

Camille Henrot: A Number of Things
542 West 22nd Street (Jan 30 – Apr 12)

Bronze has never looked so playful, so poetic. Camille Henrot’s ‘Abacus’ sculptures marry childhood whimsy with societal critique, a balance so perfect it might make you believe in magic again. And those paintings—oh, the Dos and Don’ts series! They dance across the gallery floor (designed, no less, by Charlap Hyman & Herrero), bursting with color and texture, defying the rules while nodding to them. This is an exhibition to lose yourself in, a sensory playground where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

Catherine Goodman: Silent Music
542 West 22nd Street (Jan 30 – Apr 12)

Step into Catherine Goodman’s world, and you step into a space where memories morph into landscapes of color and emotion. Her brushwork is a symphony, each stroke a note in a story that’s deeply personal yet universally resonant. These paintings are not just to be seen but to be felt. And don’t miss the accompanying monograph—Jennifer Higgie’s essay is a treat for the soul, a perfect complement to Goodman’s mesmerizing canvases.

Dieter Roth: Islandscapes
443 West 18th Street (Opens Feb 20)

If Dieter Roth doesn’t make you rethink everything you know about printmaking, nothing will. ‘Islandscapes’ is a love letter to the art of reinvention, showcasing works that are as wild and multifaceted as the man himself. From the 1960s to the mid-’70s, Roth explored landscapes in ways that were anything but traditional. This exhibition is pure alchemy – a fusion of painting, poetry, and the deeply personal.
