Supertramps
ANNETTE WEISSER TO BRUCE HAINLEY Berlin, October 6, 2025
Like many pen-pal exchanges, the correspondence between Annette Weisser and Bruce Hainley, which runs here quarterly under the title “Supertramps,” started over the summer break. Now the winter term has begun, and in her autumnal letter to Hainley, Weisser looks back on the last warm weeks of the year, during which she visited Monte Carlo. While her teenage son indulged in his passion of chasing Jaguars, McLarens, and other luxury cars to post reels of expensive wheels online, she visited an Annie Leibovitz exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s Monaco outpost. A particular portrait that Leibovitz took of Agnes Martin stuck with Weisser, prompting reflections on the state of art in uncertain times – and on Hainley’s somewhat romantic take on its return to the underground, which he shared in his last letter.
