Hanne Darboven

Born 1941 in Munich. Lives and works in Hamburg.

She was greatly influenced by the conceptual art, and she continued to make drawings of numbers and wavy lines on graph paper, calendars, and other papers. Through these works what she took as her question was not the expression of concepts, but the experience and understanding of time. On the occasions of her presentations she displayed huge numbers of her drawing to cover the walls, and presented observers with accumulated, elapsed time.
