The Inner Mirror provides an intimate glimpse into the life of Ursula Hauser, collector and cofounder of the major international gallery Hauser & Wirth. More than a straightforward biography, this title reads like an intimate conversation with a highly intelligent friend. Hauser recounts her discovery and support of artists such as Pipilotti Rist, Roni Horn and Paul McCarthy, as well as her acquisitions of the estates of artists such as Eve Hesse, Lee Lozano and Francis Picabia. Interspersed with photographs of Hauser at artist's homes or studios, this volume provides invaluable insight into the life and work of one of today's finest gallerists and collectors.

Meet Ursula Hauser Over the last 35 years, Ursula has put together a deeply personal collection of contemporary art, with works by female artists forming a significant part. Her passion, openness, and profound love for artists are both remarkable and astonishing. Even now, a visit to an artist’s studio is still a highlight in Ursula's life, and she maintains wonderful friendships with many of the artists we see in her collection.
