Hannah Höch

Hannah Höch (b. 1889 in Gotha, d. 1978 in Berlin, Germany) was a German artist associated with the Dada movement. She studied in the graphics class of Emil Orlik at the National Institute of the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Berlin. Höch participated in the groundbreaking exhibition First International Dada Fair Berlin, 1920. Numerous museums have held posthumous retrospectives of Höch’s body of work, among them the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, 2007; Museum Tinguely, Basel, 2008; and Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, 2014. In her honor, the city of Berlin awards the biannual Hannah Höch Prize for an exceptional artistic life’s work.
