A monograph on the radical German-born American sculptor Eva Hesse (1936–70) by Lucy Lippard; a legendary American art writer, activist, and curator. As Lippard elucidates, ‘Hesse’s use of obsessive repetition in her works served to increase and exaggerate the absurdity she saw in her life… In pioneering the use of “soft” materials, her sculptures betrayed her awareness of the manner in which her experience as a woman altered her art and career.’
Published in 1976, Eva Hesse by Lucy Lippard includes “Documentation” by Susan Ginsburg and quotations from Hesse’s diaries, in addition to a chronology, catalogue raisonne of sculpture, and a bibliography. The cover is designed by Sol Lewitt.
