A solo exhibition by German artist Hanne Darboven. Close to Sol LeWitt and Carl Andre during her years in New York, Darboven’s work helped redefine art and its perception. In the 70’s, the calendar, digit sums of each date, repetitive abstract daily writing and documentation photographs developed in her work to form large, spectacular installations with hundreds of framed plates. Darboven has ended her daily writings and, in recent years, has been composing and transcribing her daily accountings into music, her artistic origin. Parallel to her upcoming solo exhibition at the Deutsche Guggenheim, the Berlin Philharmonic will perform one of her Partituren in February of next year.

Hanne Darboven has exhibited extensively for 40 years, participating in documenta 5 (1972), documenta 6 (1977), documenta 7 (1982), documenta 11 (2002), Kassel, and the German Pavillion at the 40th Venice Biennale (1982). Her work has been presented in such survey shows as 1965-1975: Reconsidering the Object of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1995); Die Epoche der Moderne: Kunst im 20. Jahrhundert, Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin (1997). Darboven had her first solo exhibitions with Konrad Fischer (1967), and in New York with Leo Castelli in 1973.
