Swiss mega gallery tied to Laurene Powell Jobs to open in Palo Alto near her offices

Hauser & Wirth, the Swiss mega-gallery, will open its first Northern California location this spring in downtown Palo Alto, inside a former post office at 201–225 Hamilton Ave. The move is widely seen as a bid to be closer to Silicon Valley clients, particularly billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, whose Emerson Collective offices are two blocks away. Powell Jobs, rumored to be one of Hauser & Wirth's top clients, shifted her business from Pace Gallery to Hauser & Wirth in 2022. The renovation is led by Paris-based architect Luis Laplace, who is also designing Powell Jobs' renovation of the San Francisco Art Institute. The gallery will be the third Hauser & Wirth in California, joining two Los Angeles locations.
