Artists on Hanne Darboven is the first installment in a series culled from Dia Art Foundation's Artists on Artists lectures, focused on German conceptual artist Hanne Darboven (1941-2009). Established in 2001, the lecture series highlights the work of modern and contemporary artists from the perspective of their colleagues and peers.

The inaugural Artists on Artists title is published in conjunction with the opening of Darboven's 1980-83 installation "Kulturgeschichte 1880-1983" ("Cultural History 1880-1983") at Dia: Chelsea in New York City, the first time Darboven's magnum opus has been on view in the United States for over a decade. It features contributions from Gregg Bordowitz, Sam Lewitt, Josephine Meckseper and Matt Mullican.
