Hanne Darboven (1941-2009) is one of the twentieth century's<br>most extraordinary international artists. This major publication<br>brings together key works from all phases of her prolific career, <br>spanning over fifty years. It highlights the outstanding and<br>wide-ranging output of this key conceptual artist in its entire<br>temporal and stylistic breadth, featuring works in which the<br>artist focuses on political events, German history and her<br>personal context and shows the extensive work series exploring<br>themes from cultural history, music, literature, and (natural)<br>science. Beside the serial calculations on paper the book also<br>presents parts of the artist ́s studio in Hamburg: The desks, <br>for example, tell us of Darboven ́s systematic approach to her<br>work. The so-called music room, a quasi-encyclopedic archive, <br>grants insight for the first time into the intellectual cosmos<br>of the artist and her practice of compilation, composition and<br>notation.
