Anne Imhof
Anne Imhof (born 1978 in Giessen, Germany) is a German visual artist, choreographer, and performance artist who lives and works between Frankfurt, Paris and Los Angeles. She is best known for her endurance art (also known as durational performance), although she cites painting and drawing as central to her practice.
In 2015, she was awarded the Preis der Nationalgalerie. In 2017, she received the Golden Lion for her work Faust at the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and was ranked No.1 on Monopol's Top 100 list.
She was a visiting professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in 2015.
Imhof was born in Giessen and grew up in Fulda. She was born to teacher father, Michael Imhof (born 1947), and dentist mother, Annette Imhof-Kramer.[citation needed] Her cousin is art book publisher Michael Imhof (born 1964).[citation needed]
Imhof attended the Catholic Marienschule in Fulda and the Marianum in Fulda, a private Catholic secondary school in the Marianist tradition, graduating in 1997.[citation needed] She studied a year abroad at Prior Park College in Bath, England. There, aged 14, she received private drawing lessons from a teacher, who introduced her to Michelangelo's drawing techniques. She was suspended from the school and sent home to Germany. She describes the environment as having been homophobic, saying she was accused of having the 'evil eye' and bewitching other girls.
Imhof played piano as a child, and later played in several bands.
Imhof described her first work as a performance she staged before studying (at around 20 years old) consisting of boxing matches held in a space in a club that lasted for exactly the duration of a punk band that was playing. She describes having been influenced by Andy Warhol, Giotto and Caravaggio at the time. However, she says it did not occur to her at the time that the piece was art.
From 2000 to 2003, Imhof studied Visual Communication at the Offenbach University of Art and Design (HfG), under Heiner Blum. There she met Nadine Fraczkowski, who she was also in the band 'Daughters from a Good Family' with, and has since worked with as a photographer. In 2003, Imhof presented her first video work, Private Butterflies, made in collaboration with Fraczkowski, at the Festival of Young Talents.
