Summary

Eva Hesse explores the pioneering work of the influential artist known for her process-based art that deeply impacted minimalist artists of the 1960s. Utilising industrial materials like latex and fibreglass, Hesse created pieces with a unique psychic and physical intensity. The book examines critical discourse surrounding her work since the 1992 Yale retrospective and coincides with a major exhibition by the San Francisco Museum of Art and the Wiesbaden Museum. It includes a 1970 interview by Cindy Nemser, a conversation between Mel Bochner and Joan Simon, and essays by leading scholars such as Briony Fer and Rosalind Krauss.

Description

Eva Hesse's distinctive process-based art exerted a powerful influence on minimalist artists of the 1960s and continues to inspire artists. Using industrial materials such as latex and fibreglass, she exploited their flexibility to produce works with an unsettling psychic and corporeal resonance.

Hesse, who was born in Germany in 1936 and raised in New York City, died of cancer in New York in 1970. This text focuses on the body of criticism that has developed since the last major retrospective of Hesse's work, at the Yale University Art Gallery in 1992.

The book's publication coincides with a major exhibition organised jointly by the San Francisco Museum of Art and the Wiesbaden Museum. Eva Hesse contains a 1970 interview by Cindy Nemser, a discussion between Mel Bochner and Joan Simon, and essays by Briony Fer, Rosalind Krauss, Mignon Nixon, and Anne M. Wagner.
