Collection: Maria Eichhorn

Maria Eichhorn (b. 1962) is a German artist whose practice examines the legal, economic, and institutional frameworks that govern art and its circulation. Working across installation, text, and research-based projects, Eichhorn produces works that make visible the conditions — contractual, financial, and administrative — under which artworks are produced, owned, and transferred.

Her project Rose Valland Institut (2017–) investigates the restitution of art looted during the Nazi period. Her 5 weeks, 25 days, 175 hours (Documenta 12, 2007) converted the exhibition budget into a public company, making the financial structure of the institution the work itself. Eichhorn has exhibited at Documenta, the Venice Biennale, and major institutions across Europe and North America.
