Biography
The German conceptual artist Hanne Darboven was born in Munich on April 29, 1941, the second of three children. Together with her two sisters, she grew up well protected in a merchant's family in the Rönneburg district of Hamburg. She attended the Waldörfer School in Hamburg-Volksdorf and completed her school career there with a high-school diploma in 1962. Before that, she had opted for the school's music specialization in the upper school.
After graduating from school, she studied at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg from 1962 to 1965. There she was taught by the artists Willem Grimm and Almir Mavignier, a representative of Op Art and Concrete Art. It was during this time that she created her first so-called "permutations". A year after graduating, she moved to New York in 1966, where she became acquainted with artists of Minimal and Concept Art. These included Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, and Carl Andre, whose conception of art would also influence Darboven's work. Thus, during her stay in New York, she created her first repetitive numerical structures, which she created from calendar dates and arranged on graph paper according to a system she had conceived.
In 1967, the Konrad Fischer Gallery in Düsseldorf hosted her first solo exhibition. Two years later, Darboven returned to her hometown of Hamburg from the United States and began incorporating poems by Heinrich Heine and Jean-Paul Sartre into her work, which she herself saw as a form of writing.
In 1972, Darboven participated in the documenta in Kassel for the first time. A year later Leo Castelli, whom the artist had also met during her time in New York, exhibited her work in his gallery and continued to represent her in the following years. Beginning in 1975, her work explored the representation of history. Her main work "Writing Time" was created, in which she made historical events visible through texts, numerical coding, photographs and diagrams.
Since the early 1980s, she began to transform her number systems into sequences of notes by assigning a note to each number. In collaboration with a musician, the sequences of notes were turned into arrangements for various instruments. In 1982, Darboven represented Germany at the Venice Biennale.
Hanne Darboven died on March 09, 2009 in Hamburg-Rönneburg as a result of lymphatic cancer. She was a laureate of the Edwin-Scharff-Prize of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg and a member of the Academy of Arts. In addition, she held an honorary professorship at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg from 2000 and established the Hanne Darboven Foundation in Hamburg in the same year.
