Aught 1968 — Fine Art

Aught 1968 by Eva Hesse reads as a set of soft organic shapes against a muted ground.

From a few paces away the lines seem to bend and overlap, while standing closer you notice the uneven edges and the shifts in tone. The field is made in a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel.

The matte surface keeps the grey and cream tones quiet, so the drawing does not glare under a light. It belongs on the wall beside a desk in a study, where the small irregularities in the drawing catch the eye during a slow afternoon.
