A monograph surveying the storied career of German artist Hans Haacke, on the occasion of a major retrospective exhibition
Born in Germany in 1936, Hans Haacke is known
for his intellectual and politically engaged art
that has long shed light on systems of power.
A pioneer of institutional critique, conceptual
art, and environmental art, Haacke creates
incisive, often site-specific works that call upon
the viewer to engage or participate and thereby
question invisible structural dynamics at play
in society. This book offers an opportunity
to revisit the artist’s thought-provoking career
in light of contemporary culture.
