內容簡介
內容簡介 Fifteen museum curators chronicle Hesse's landmark exhibitions over the yearsGerman-born American artist Eva Hesse (1936-70) was a pioneering figure in Postminimalism, known for her use of materials such as latex and fiberglass to evoke fleshy, organic forms. This volume provides a historical account of Hesse's landmark institutional exhibitions following her death, from 1972 to the present. Contributions from the museum curators involved in organizing these shows reflect the personal dimension of crafting an exhibition, such as intent and reception.
