The Blanton Museum of Art presents Converging Lines: Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt an exhibition on view February 23–May 18, 2014.
In 1970, immediately upon learning of Hesse’s premature death at the age of 34, LeWitt created a wall drawing filled with “not straight” lines as a way of paying homage to the organic contours that were a hallmark of Hesse’s art. Organized by the Blanton, the exhibition will take this wall drawing, Wall Drawing #46, as its point of departure, while also revealing the way Hesse’s approach to making art had vast-reaching implications on LeWitt’s work. Included are wall drawings, sculpture, painting, drawings, prints, and correspondence between the artists.
