Expanded Expansion 1969 — Fine Art

Expanded Expansion 1969 by Eva Hesse shows soft shapes that bend and meet the wall. The image reads as a loose arrangement of curves and lines that is felt across the room. Up close the marks look hand drawn and uneven.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The frame finish can follow the room, so a light frame on a dark wall keeps the pale ground clear under warm light. The matte surface holds the soft tones without shine. It sits at a mid height on a blank wall.

In a narrow hallway the curves lead the eye down the passage. You notice the slight unevenness of the drawn lines against the smooth wall.
