Hans Haacke (12 August 1936, Cologne) is a German-born artist who lives and works in New York.

Hans Haacke studied at the Staatliche Werkakademie in Kassel, Germany, from 1956 to 1960. He was a student of Stanley William Hayter, an English printmaker, draftsman, and painter. From 1961 to 1962 he studied on a Fulbright grant at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia. From 1967 to 2002 Haacke was a professor at the Cooper Union in New York City. During his years in Germany, he was a member of Zero. In most of his work after the late 1960s, Haacke focused on the art world and the system of exchange between museums and corporations and corporate leaders; he often underlines its effects in site-specific ways. Haacke has been outspoken throughout his career about demystifying the relationship between museums and businesses and their individual practices. [1]

He has had solo exhibitions at the New Museum, New York (1986, 2019); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (2012); and MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA (1967, 2011); among others. He has participated in international exhibitions including documenta, Kassel (1972, 1982, 1987, 1997, 2017); Lyon Biennial (2017); Venice Biennale (1976, 1993, 2009, 2015); Liverpool Biennial (2014); and others. He has been awarded numerous prizes for his work including the Golden Lion of the Biennale di Venezia in 1993 (which he shared with Nam June Paik), the Arnold-Bode-Prize in 1919 and the Goslarer Kaiserring in 2020.
