Eva Hesse!

some facts about her:

-minimalist sculpture

-satire of Greenberg modernism

-Gaus-like bandaged strips wrapped around frame "need repairing"

-wire sticking out at the viewer to contrast Greenbergism "flat and pure"

-female artist; hard for a woman to break into abstract expressionism and she calls it out

-said she wanted her to work to be "non-art, nonconnotative, non-anthropomorphic, non-geometric, non-nothing, everything but of another kind, vision, sort"

-express the strangeness and absurdity she considered the central conditions of modern life
