Rebecca Horn
Rebecca Horn (1944-2024) is a German artist working at the intersection of sculpture, performance, film, drawing and installation. She belonged to the first generation of women artists who engaged with questions of space and the body, as well as movement and perception. In the 1970s, she developed so-called body extensions and combined performance, sculpture, mechanics and video.
Her works have been shown internationally, including at Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden (Wuppertal, 2026), Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Rivoli-Turin, 2025), Cerruti Foundation (Turin, 2025), Haus der Kunst (Munich, 2024), Centre Pompidou-Metz (2019), Tate Gallery (London, 1993), and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, 1993). Her work has been presented at the Venice Biennale in 1997 and 2022 as well as documenta 5 and documenta 9. Her numerous awards include the Kaiserring of the City of Goslar (1992) and the Praemium Imperiale (2010). [Source: n.b.k., VOX, 2026]
