Hauser & Wirth Announces Representation of Jeffrey Gibson
Art gallery Hauser & Wirth has declared that they will represent American artist Jeffrey Gibson, a member of the Mississippi Choctaw-Cherokee tribe, on a global scale. Originally from Colorado and now residing in Upstate New York, Gibson has recently been selected as the first Indigenous artist to represent the United States at the ongoing Venice Biennale. His work, showcased in the U.S. pavilion, offers a lively mix of sculptures, tapestries, and film installations that reflect his personal connections with the country he was born in, while also mirroring and aligning with the experiences of native communities worldwide.
