Hauser & Wirth brings a Lee Bul solo booth to ART021 as Shanghai art week opens
Hauser & Wirth is showing at both of Shanghai's November fairs: West Bund Art & Design, running 10-15 November 2026, with works spanning generations from Louise Bourgeois to Zhang Enli, and ART021, running 11-14 November, with a solo booth dedicated to Lee Bul and her sculpture 'Untitled Sculpture (W3)'.

Hauser & Wirth has returned to Shanghai art week with presentations at both of the city's flagship November fairs. At West Bund Art & Design, which runs from 10 to 15 November 2026, the gallery is showing works spanning several generations of artists, including Louise Bourgeois, Jenny Holzer, Lee Bul and Zhang Enli. At ART021, which runs from 11 to 14 November at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, it is presenting a solo booth dedicated to Lee Bul.
The ART021 booth centres on Lee Bul's 'Untitled Sculpture (W3)' from 2010, a crystalline, fragmented form that explores utopian modernity and the rise and fall of progressivist projects. Lee Bul, one of South Korea's most internationally recognised artists, has long worked with fragmented, futuristic bodies and architectures, and the solo booth gives her a focused presence inside a fair better known for group presentations.
The two fairs run concurrently as the centrepiece of Shanghai's International Artwork Trading Week, which gathers West Bund Art & Design, ART021, the Shanghai Youth Art Fair and a craft expo into a single mid-November window. The thirteenth edition of West Bund Art & Design brings together more than 150 galleries across four venues along the Huangpu river, while the fourteenth ART021 occupies the Shanghai Exhibition Center in Jing'an.
For Hauser & Wirth, the double presence underlines the weight it now gives the Shanghai week, pairing a broad multi-generational hang at West Bund with a single-artist statement at ART021. Both presentations are on view through the weekend, with West Bund's public days running to Sunday 15 November and ART021 closing on Saturday 14 November.
