Anne Imhof

Anne Imhof is a German artist based in Berlin and New York whose practice fuses performance, installation, painting, drawing, music and more. Trained at the Städelschule in Frankfurt, Imhof first gained wide recognition with her durational works that bring together dancers, soundscapes, and architectural interventions. Her breakthrough came at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017 when her piece Faust earned the Golden Lion for best national participation. Imhof combines a range of materials with raw physicality to explore how bodies inhabit space, melding choreographic precision with the gritty aesthetics and textures of club culture, glass, metal, and smoke. Her performances stage charged environments that explore power, vulnerability, and the choreography of social interaction. Imhof’s work is included in major collections such as the Tate in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
