Pollitzer, Eric
Hans Haacke with his 'Wave' sculpture, 1965

Hans Haacke with his Wave sculpture, 1965. Photograph by Eric Pollitzer. Rudi Blesh papers, 1920–1986. Conceptual artist Hans Haacke (b. 1936) wanted his audience to engage physically with his art, so he made “something the spectator handles, an object to be played with.” 1965 was a significant year for Haacke: he moved permanently to the U.S., and his water sculptures were exhibited in New York to critical acclaim.
