EVA HESSE

• Jewish German-born American sculptor.
• Her pioneering work in materials such as Latex, fiberglass and plastics.
• A dynamic and Multi-faceted communication of two-dimensional and three-dimensional work can be experienced.
• Moving around her sculpture, one senses an optical and dynamic correspondence to chamber music, in which each melodious line is expressed by a single player.
• Associated with the mid-1960s post-minimalism anti-form trend in sculpture.
• Her art is often viewed in light.
• Led the move from minimalism to Post minimalism.

Eva Hesse. Right After, 1969.

• Comes to be floating in space.
• Piece tends to be caught in between of two adverse forces; the effect of gravity could be experienced through the delicate curve of the wires as they descent downwards, while invisible wires keep the sculpture suspended in the air.
• No loose ends, giving a sense of continuity and completion.
• Associating a light source into the structure of the artwork.
• Made entirely of bright lines hanging in loops from dark mental hooks, these blend into chaotic bunch.
• Using lines as an approach of constructing, disconnecting and assembling.
• These drooping lines of her mark shapes are apparent in wide range of her work.
