Author: Edited by Barry Rosen with Tamara BloombergWith a beautiful clean design befitting Eva Hesse’s aesthetic, this voluminous collection tracks the artist’s insights, doubts, p rocess and personal life. In this extensive collection of Hesse’s diaries, recorded from 1955 to 1970, readers are given an intimate glimpse into the mind of one of contemporary sculpture’s most prominent figures. Despite personal tragedies and the difficulties she faced as one of the few female artists in the male-dominated postminimalist movement, Hesse remained intrepid in both her life and craft. Composed of twisted ropes and delicate plastic among other unconventional materials, Hesse’s sculptures defy traditional notions of form; her deeply thoughtful practice as a sculptor and a painter are revealed at length in her writing.ISBN 9783906915586.
