As a founding figure of artistic institutional critique, Haacke redefined the relationship between art and society, as well as influenced generations of artists. This lavishly illustrated volume, \u003ci\u003eHans Haacke\u003c\/i\u003e, presents a comprehensive introduction to the German-American artist with works from 1959 to the present day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Haacke's works are provocative and political, but also humorous and poetical. In his early work of the 1960s, he initially reflected on biological and physical (eco-)systems before turning his attention to socio-political structures, which he then subjected to a sharp--often unsparing--analysis. Thus, he examines the abuse of power, historical and political upheavals, the entanglement of public institutions, politics and the economy, and anti-democratic tendencies. He insists on the societal relevance of art and its transformative potential. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ingrid Pfeiffer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777444235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777444239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ingrid Pfeiffer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526446338303,"sku":"9783777444239","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e9b4981-f5d7-4d26-acc0-6225546dcdf1.jpg?v=1737556209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hans-haacke-ingrid-pfeiffer-9783777444239","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
