Eva Hesse

  • Introduction

    Margot Norton is Chief Curator at BAMPFA.

Equal parts inspiring and heartbreaking, Eva Hesse focuses on the eponymous artist, who, despite her tragically short life, is one of the most significant American artists of the last century. Hesse’s use of latex, fiberglass, and plastic added a visceral complexity to the minimalist idiom of the time, and her work remains as compelling today as it was fifty years ago. Director Marcie Begleiter effectively uses the artist’s extensive diaries, which add a poignant intimacy to the film. “A vibrant, affecting piece of filmmaking that’s sure to widen Hesse’s following” (Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times).
