Eva Hesse: Transformations - The Sojourn in Germany 1964/65

An icon of American art, Eva Hesse transformed the language of sculpture through her pioneering use of alternative forms and materials during her too-brief career. While the majority of publications focus on her production after 1965, this slipcased, two-volume publication offers the first sustained examination of the Hesse’s output in the years prior. Volume I documents the artist’s production from 1962 to 1966, with numerous reproductions of drawings, collages, sculptures, and plastic reliefs. Volume II presents, for the very first time, Hesse’s notebooks from 1964 and 1965—a watershed year in her artistic practice—reproduced in their original English (alongside German translations) to offer a window into the artist at work.
