Irma Blank (1934-2023) was a German-Italian artist. Her works are characterized by the production of asemantic writing and graphics that are close to the work of
Mirtha Dermisache or Hanne Darboven. Her practice is envisioned as a total sensory cycle including sight, hearing (audio recordings of her readings), touch (manipulative drawings), as well as bodily presence with performed actions and readings. She participated in documenta 6 in Cassel in 1977 and in the Biennale of Venice in 1978. Like many women artists of her generation, Irma Blank received late recognition. Her works are present in the collections of a large number of international museums.
