With her edition In Hommage an meinen Vater (In Homage to My Father), Hanne Darboven honors her father in a striking composition, where she integrates personal photographs into a strictly gridded arrangement. This structure is dominated by her characteristic system of mathematical calculations and principles. The autobiographical work provides deep insight into Darboven's precise and meticulous artistic practice, for which she is internationally renowned. Her close relationship with her family is reflected not only in this tribute but also in her way of life: in the late 1960s, she permanently returned to her parental home, which also became the center of her artistic production.
