¶ Eva Hesse was born in Hamburg, into a Jewish family that emigrated to New York in 1939. There she graduated from the New York School of Industrial Art. In the early 1960s, she took part in a happening in Woodstock with her husband Tom Doyle. Hesse is associated with postminimalism, more specifically with the anti-form movement.
