Anne Imhof (born 1978 in Gießen, Germany) is a German contemporary artist known for her distinctive practice that combines performance, painting, drawing, music, and installation. Her artworks frequently explore themes of power, control, vulnerability, and social structures, reflecting a sustained engagement with contemporary culture and collective behavior.
Imhof rose to international prominence with her performances presented in major international exhibitions and institutions. Her breakthrough moment came at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017, where she received the Golden Lion for Best National Participation for her performance Faust. The work transformed the German Pavilion into an immersive environment in which performers moved slowly across glass platforms and architectural structures, creating an atmosphere of tension, surveillance, and ritualized interaction.
A defining characteristic of Imhof’s performances is their duration and psychological intensity. Participants, whom she calls “players,” enact carefully choreographed actions that unfold over many hours, often generating a charged atmosphere of stillness, confrontation, and collective observation. These works blur the boundaries between performance, sculpture, architecture, and social choreography.
Alongside her performances, Imhof produces paintings, drawings, photographs, and Anne Imhof prints and editions that extend the visual language of her performances into independent artworks. These works often feature restrained palettes, layered imagery, and graphic compositions that echo the themes of power, vulnerability, and control present in her performances.
Many Anne Imhof prints reinterpret imagery connected to her performances through edition formats, translating the visual atmosphere of her installations into collectible artworks. Through these works, Imhof expands her multidisciplinary practice while maintaining the conceptual intensity that defines her performances.
