An icon of American art, Eva Hesse (1936 – 1970) produced a prodigious body of work in the 1960s that collapsed disciplinary boundaries and forged innovative approaches to materials, forms and processes. She cultivated mistakes and surprises, precariousness and enigma, in an effort to make works that could transcend literal associations. Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse 1 presents two distinct bodies of work from Hesse’s oeuvre: a selection of figural paintings from 1960, today known as ‘Spectre,’ and a group of small, experimental sculptures from 1969. Through the two bodies of work on view, ‘EVA HESSE. Forms & Figures’ reveals the artist’s wide-ranging studio practice from early paintings to the late three-dimensional works she is best known for.
