Description

Eva Hesse is a critical primer on the work of artist Eva Hesse. Her process-based art had a significant influence on minimalist artists in the 1960s, and its impact continues to be felt today. Using industrial materials like latex and fiberglass, Hesse created works that explored the relationship between the body and the material world. The book brings together recent criticism and analysis of Hesse's work, including an interview from 1970 and essays by leading art historians. This publication coincides with a major exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art and the Wiesbaden Museum, offering new insights into Hesse's life and art. With contributions from Briony Fer, Rosalind Krauss, Mignon Nixon, and Anne M. Wagner, among others, Eva Hesse provides a comprehensive understanding of this important artist's oeuvre.
