Eva Hesse Biography
(b Hamburg, 11 Jan 1936; d New York, 29 May 1970). American sculptor and painter of German birth. She arrived in New York in 1939. From 1954 to 1957 she studied at Cooper Union in New York and in 1959 at Yale University School of Art in New Haven, CT, under Josef Albers. Her individual style first appeared in drawings shown in the early 1960s, for example at her first one-woman exhibition at Allan Stone Gallery in New York (1963). Hesse considered herself a painter until 1965, when, during a year in Germany, she constructed and exhibited 14 papier-mâché reliefs, with cord-wrapped wires embedded, projecting or dangling from them, at the Kunsthalle, Düsseldorf; among these exhibited works was Tomorrows Apples (5 in White) (1965; London, Tate). Hesses friends included Sol LeWitt, Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt (b 1938), Mel Bochner (b 1940) and Dan Graham.
