First edition of pioneering German-American artist Eva Hesse’s sculpture catalog raisonné, compiled and with text by Hesse’s long-time studio assistant Bill Barette. Hesse was known primarily for her creative use of materials including fiberglass, latex and plastics in her sculptural work. She was a seminal figure of post minimalism in the 1960s and one of few women working in the male-dominated movement. Using Hesse’s notebooks and diaries, this comprehensive volume details 108 sculptures from 1965 to her death in 1970. Illustrated throughout with color and black-and-white plates; with an introduction by Barrette, an extensive exhibition and publication history, bibliography, exhibition checklist, and index.
