A critical primer on the work of artist Eva Hesse. Eva Hesse's
distinctive process-based art exerted a powerful influence on
minimalist artists of the 1960s and continues to inspire artists
today. Using industrial materials such as latex and fiberglass, 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. Eva Hesse 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 organized 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.
