Eva Hesse

Portrait of a Ground-breaking Artist

The first feature-length appreciation of the life and work of Eva Hesse, one of America's foremost postwar artists.

Her pioneering sculptures, using latex, fiberglass, and plastics, helped establish the post-minimalist movement. Dying of a brain tumor at age 34, she had a mere decade-long career that is dense with complex, intriguing works that defy easy categorization.

"A vibrant, affecting piece of filmmaking that's sure to widen Hesse's following." - Sheri Linden, The Los Angeles Times

"Hesse's work has taken its place as a seminal part of 20th-century art, and this indispensable film will be shining a light on it, and her, for a long time to come." - Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
