Formerly known as Andreas Hofer, the artist adopted the name of Andy Hope 1930 in 2010. Hope associates the year 1930 with both the rise of the comic book to a mass medium, and the abandonment of suprematism and Russian constructivism, elements which have all played a significant role in his work.

 
Hope’s recent solo exhibitions include ‘FRIDAY IS TOO LATE’, Autocenter, Berlin, Germany (2015); ‘Prequel – Equal’, Vienna, Austria (2015); ‘UNappropriated Activities’, Hauser & Wirth Zürich (2015); When Dinosaurs Become Modernist’ at Inverleith House, Edinburgh, Scotland (2012); ‘Medley Tour by Andy Hope 1930′ at Kestnergesellschaft, Hanover, Germany, where he first exhibited the ‘Medleys’, a precursor to the ‘X-Medleys’ (2012); ‘Detour – Landscape in Progress II’, Kunsthistorisches Museum and CAC Contemporary Art Club at Theseustempel, Vienna, Austria (2011); ‘Robin Dostoyevsky by Andy Hope 1930′, CAC Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Malaga, Spain (2011); ‘Andy Hope 1930 at the Freud’, Freud Museum, London, England (2010); ‘Andy Hope 1930′, Sammlung Goetz, Munich, Germany (2009); ‘air tsu dni oui se lavy’, Hauser & Wirth London (2009); and ‘White Space Black’, Oldenburger Kunstverein, Oldenburg, Germany.
