Eva Hesse’s sculptures are greatly influenced by Minimalism. Her work, however, is seen as having surpassed Minimalist ideals and Eva Hesse is an artist now associated with Postminimalism. The difference is that Minimalism supports highly rigid and precise impersonal concepts that are purely focused on the formal qualities of the sculptural form and symmetry. Eva Hesse’s works are respectful of Minimalist ideals and her work is seen as highly formal, but it has a more personal aspect and imperfect marks created by the artist’s hands, resulting in less rigid and more personal artworks.
