A Page from the Drawing Papers Archive 
This page from #DrawingPapers 61 features an untitled graphite and gray wash on paper drawing (detail) 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.
