Between 1996 and 2005, the artist conducted interviews with artists, gallerists and other art world figures including Carl Andre, Michael Asher, Paula Cooper, Hans Haacke, Jenny Holzer, Adrian Piper, Robert Ryman, John Weber, Lawrence Weiner and Jackie Winsor. Their discussions were centred around the sale of artworks, speculation, the role of collectors and museums and artists’ rights.
Earlier this week it was announced that Eichhorn will represent Germany at the 2022 Venice Biennale.
“Maria Eichhorn is the artist I have always wanted to see in the German Pavilion,” said Ylmaz Dziewior, director of Cologne’s Museum Ludwig, who is curating the German Pavilion.“In my view there are few artists who address themselves to German history and its impact on the present in as multifaceted and intensive a manner.”
