Compiling columns of numbers on typewriter paper, Hanne Darboven (1941-2009) catalogued time.
Probably the most important German Conceptual artist, Darboven added, cross-totaled, wrote down, recorded.
In her hands, notated moments in time coalesced into works of art.
This collage-like biography focuses on a fascinatingly androgynous female figure, setting out on a search for the traces of her life.
Born into an upper-class family in Hamburg, Darboven experienced her artistic awakening in New York in the 1960s and ultimately carved out a stellar career as an artist.
Here, transcribed conversations, narrative passages and interviews with fellow artists such as Lawrence Weiner, Carl Andre, Joseph Kosuth, Kasper K nig and Rainer Langhans are interspersed with one another.
This intimate perspective demonstrates Darboven's artistic development and enables readers to more easily access her influential oeuvre.
