Eva Hesse in 1966
Screenings

Eva Hesse

  • This is a past program

Eva Hesse traces the postwar artist’s brief, brilliant career amid the creative communities of 1960s New York and Germany. This documentary—which A.O. Scott calls “an indispensable aid to understanding and appreciating a fascinating artist”—captures the revolutionary, passionate, and mischievous nature of the artist through dozens of new interviews, footage of Hesse’s artwork, and newly discovered archival imagery. (2016, dir. Marcie Begleiter, 105 min.)

The screening is followed by a Q&A with director Marcie Begleiter and producer Karen Shapiro.
