Item Number: 132433 Title: The Order of Time and Things. The Home-Studio of HANNE DARBOVEN Author: Schoofs, Miriam (et al) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788480264938 Description: Madrid: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, 2014. 24cm., pbk., 196pp. illus. English text. Summary: Known for her large-scale works that combine geometric drawings, numerical series, images and writings, Hanne Darboven (Munich, 1941 - Hamburg, 2009) is often associated with conceptual art, a correlation that should be nuanced further given the unmistakeably subjective nature of the process of realisation and expression of her works, which are often peppered with autobiographical references and mentions of the site of production. This exhibition assembles a broad range of her artworks and a highly diverse mélange of objects (toys, mannequins, musical instruments, promotional items, souvenirs from different corners of the earth…) that Darboven amassed in her family home in Am Burgberg, where she lived and worked her whole life (apart from a brief two-year stint in New York in the mid sixties). More than a studio in use, it is akin to the Cabinets of Curiosities or Wonder Rooms that proliferated in the 16th and 17th centuries. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available.
