Lo Brutto Stahl is proud to collaborate with Hauser & Wirth for the second edition of Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) in Paris, curated by Olivier Renaud-Clément. This new invitation spotlights Carlotta Amanzi in an exhibition produced in collaboration with Lo Brutto Stahl and featuring a text by Paul Olivennes. Bringing together works by the artist that question both the materiality of painting and the viewer’s perception, the exhibition is an exploration of painting and its possibilities—where balance is achieved in instability, forms appear but remain elusive, and the surface becomes the site of discord, a space where color, light, and matter harmonize without ever resolving.

About Hauser & Wirth Invite(s)
This initiative reflects Hauser & Wirth’s longstanding commitment to building a sense of connection in the places where it works, collaborating with artists (or estates) who may benefit from an additional platform, galleries of different scale and writers addressing new audiences, all in support of a sustainable art ecosystem. By hosting fellow artists, galleries and writers in our Paris space, we offer wider visibility of their work and ideas to engage with the city’s vibrant creative community. Organized with Olivier Renaud-Clement, Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) is hosted on the second floor of our Paris location and complements our ongoing series of exhibitions by gallery artists on the ground and first floors. Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) will launch in the Zurich space from 9 May 2025.
