It is apparently unprecedented for an institution to display a commercial gallery’s fair booth as part of its exhibition programme, although the presentation started as a collaborative exercise between the commercial and institutional sectors: combining ancient items borrowed from UK regional museums with Hauser & Wirth’s Modern and contemporary works.
