“Hans Haacke has been based in New York since 1965. His strong political, cultural and social concerns are reflected in his installations, texts and sculptures, which often borrow from non-art sources such as corporate advertising, questionnaires or scientific experimentation in order to convey their message. He has been included in four Documenta exhibitions and represented Germany, winning a Golden Lion award at the 1993 Venice Biennale. Retrospectives include the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York (1987), and at dual german venues: Deichtorhallen, Hamburg and Akademie der Kunst, Berlin (2006-7).”
