About Roni Horn

Since the late 1970s, Roni Horn has created drawings, photographs, sculptures, and installations, as well as works involving words and writings. Horn’s work, which has an emotional and psychological dimension, can be seen as an engagement with post-minimalist forms as vessels for emotional perception. She talks about her work which is “moody” and “dependent on the place”. Its attention to the specific properties of certain materials covers all mediums, from textured pigment designs, to the use of solid gold or cast glass and rubber. Nature and humanity, weather, literature and poetry are central elements of her art. In 1990 [s]he created the first of an evocative, ongoing series of books entitled “To Place”. – Panos Kasimis
