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.
