The Drawing Book [8.0] 21/10/05 11:24 Page 52 MEASUREMENT 52 Eva Hesse Untitled, 1961 ink and crayon on paper 26.5 x 23.5 cm … every corner in a house, every angle in a room, every inch of secluded space in which we like to hide, or withdraw into ourselves, is a symbol of solitude for the imagination…. An imaginary room rises up around our body, which we think well hidden when we take refuge in a corner. Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space Eva Hesse Untitled, 1967 watercolour, metallic gouache, and pencil on paper 29 x 39 cm 53
The Drawing Book [8.0] 21/10/05 11:24 Page 54 MEASUREMENT 54 In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work…. If the artist carries through his idea and makes it into visible form, then all the steps in the process are of importance. The idea itself, even if not made visible, is as much a work of art as any finished product. All intervening steps—scribbles, sketches, drawings, failed works, models, studies, thoughts conversations— are of interest. Those that show the thought process of the artist are sometimes more interesting than the final product. Sol LeWitt, Paragraphs on Conceptual Art Sol LeWitt Folded Drawing, 1971 paper 28 x 28 cm 55
