A Page from the #DrawingPapers Archive This page from Drawing Papers 61 features an untitled pencil and brown ink wash on paper drawing created by #EvaHesse in 1966. The 2006 exhibition, Eva Hesse: Circles and Grids, was the first exhibition in over 20 years that focused on the role of drawing in the achievements of Eva Hesse - one of the most influential experimental artists of the postwar era who continually challenged the conventions of her time. For Hesse, drawing played a unique role, providing the nexus between her works in all media. Her early 1960s works on paper engaged with visual vocabularies from geometry to biomorphic abstraction. Drawing Papers 61 presents a collection of Hesse’s important ‘grid’ and ‘circle’ drawings, assembled for the first time as a portfolio. The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. -Kate Robinson, Bookstore Manager
