Eva Hesse Untitled, 1964 Oil and canvas collage on canvas, 81½ × 62 in. Courtesy Hauser & Wirth Collection of Susan and Larry Marx
Best known as a pioneering sculptor of latex, fiberglass, and plastic, Hesse also worked on canvas. This painting combines abstract shapes and swirling organic tendrils with details that might also suggest fragments of machinery. Much of Hesse’s work is characterized by a dark and subtle humor: here the viewer is subject to the gaze of an all-seeing eternal eye at the top of the canvas. —HJ
