Fifteen museum curators chronicle Eva Hesse's landmark exhibitions over the last half-century while offering a glimpse into the personal dimension of crafting an exhibition.
This volume provides a historical account of Eva Hesse’s landmark institutional exhibitions. Contributions from the museum curators involved in organizing these shows reflect the personal dimension of crafting an exhibition, its intent, and reception. Accompanied by extensive installation views, archival material, exhibition-related ephemera, and snapshots, Eva Hesse: Exhibitions, 1972–2022 brings these exhibitions to life.
In essays that plot the traverse of her oeuvre across the United States and Europe, curators and scholars describe it as surprising, sublime, infinite. For some, it was a distillation of Jewish life in postwar America; for others, an archival challenge; for others still, a lesson in "mistrust of the perfect and the beautiful."--Emily LaBarge "Bookforum"
