Darboven was reflective about current political affairs and started taking short notes of the most important daily events – political or personal – when leaving Hamburg for New York in 1966, which were then later included in her work. Oftentimes, Darboven intertwined political or cultural history with personal references, such as photographs and other personal notes, like ‘in ruhe ein brötchen mit butter und marmelade essen’ (eat a roll with butter and jam in peace) or inscriptions like ‘biographie, hanne darboven 1949->1983’ referring to her lifetime, and in the work ‘Ost-West-Demokratie’ (1983), while other works, such as ‘Hommage an meinen Vater’ (1988), are even dominated by personal content.
Living in New York for two years, Darboven came into contact with the leading artists of the then-emerging Conceptual and Minimal Art movements, especially Sol LeWitt and Carl Andre. It was also during this time that she began her series of ‘Constructions’, the basic, systematic structure that would set the tone for her entire oeuvre.

Hanne Darboven
German artist (1941–2009)
Hanne Darboven (29 April 1941 – 9 March 2009) was a German conceptual artist, best known for her large-scale minimalist installations consisting of handwritten tables of numbers.
Early life and career
Darboven was born in 1941 in Munich.[1] She grew up in Rönneburg, a southern suburb of Hamburg, as the second of three daughters of Cäsar Darboven and Kirsten Darboven. Her father was a successful and well-to-do businessman in Hamburg; the family brand Darboven coffee is well known in Germany.[2]
Following a brief period in which she studied as a pianist, Darboven studied art with Willem Grimm, Theo Garve and Almir Mavignier at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg from 1962 to 1965. From 1966 to 1968, she lived in New York City, at first in total isolation from the New York art scene. She then moved back to her family home in Hamburg and continued to live and work there among an extraordinary collection of disparate cultural artefacts until her death in 2009.[3]
