I recommend the exhibition catalog for any Hesse fan or anyone interested in studying artists' working process; it's very well produced and a very good read.kim matthewshttp://kimmatthewsart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-41817479283234759252010-05-20T08:47:37.050-04:002010-05-20T08:47:37.050-04:00A powerful contrast--the heaviness of the cubes wi...A powerful contrast--the heaviness of the cubes with the almost ephemeral quality of the bowl-like forms.

It's kinda sad to compare some of her work in old reproductions to their current conditions. Time worked it's ways quickly on some of her translucent sculptures. <br />I wish she would have kept living and working.marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-75424122275494814162010-05-19T17:48:38.031-04:002010-05-19T17:48:38.031-04:00I did get in to see these pieces, and enjoyed revi...I did get in to see these pieces, and enjoyed reviewing them again, here. Seeing your photos reminded me of the overwhelming sense of fragility of the paper pieces and how they functioned (for me) as a metaphor for a memory of life that has passed.Debra Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587608778962906622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-70174190769405108262010-05-19T08:07:56.448-04:002010-05-19T08:07:56.448-04:00I didn't get to see the Hesse work at Hauser &...I didn't get to see the Hesse work at Hauser & Wirth. Did want to tell the story about the one time I met Eva Hesse.<br /><br />I was an undergraduate art major at Oberlin College in Ohio in the late 1960's. Eva Hesse came out as a Visiting Artist for two days. She gave a slide presentation one evening . I particularly enjoyed the sldes she showed of her sculpture.
