Eva Hesse 1965
Edited by Barry Rosen
With a foreword by Susan Fisher
Sterling and contributions by

and Kirsten Swenson
In 1964 the industrialist
Friedrich Arnhard Scheidt
invited Eva Hesse and her
husband, Tom Doyle, to a
residency in Kettwig an der Ruhr, Germany. The following
fifteen months marked a significant transformation in Hesse’s
practice. The artist’s studio space was located in an abandoned
textile factory that contained machine parts, tools and materials
that served as inspiration for her complex, linear mechanical
drawings and paintings. In 1965 Hesse expanded on this theme
and began using objects found in the factory and papiermâché,
to produce a series of fourteen vibrantly coloured reliefs
that venture into three-dimensional space with such materials
as wood, metal and cord protruding from the picture plane.
With new scholarship and previously unpublished illustrations,
Eva Hesse 1965 highlights key drawings, paintings and reliefs
from this time, and demonstrates how the artist was able to
rethink her approach to colour, materials and space, and begin
moving toward sculpture, preparing herself for the momentous
strides that she would take upon her return to New York.
Barry Rosen is a curatorial consultant in New York City.

New Jersey
as Non-Site
Kelly Baum
Between 1950 and 1975, some of
the postwar era’s most innovative
artists flocked to a very unexpected
place: New Jersey. Appreciating what
others tended to ignore or mock,
they gravitated to the state’s most
desolate peripheries: its industrial wastescapes, crumbling
cities, crowded highways and banal suburbs. There they
produced some of the most important work of their careers.
The breakthroughs in land, conceptual, performance, and sitespecific
art that New Jersey helped catalyse are the subject of
New Jersey as Non-Site, whose title evokes the mixed-media
sculptures that Robert Smithson began to create in 1968 while
driving the state’s highways with Nancy Holt.
This catalogue and the accompanying exhibition examine
more than 100 works by sixteen artists, including Amiri
Baraka, George Brecht, Dan Graham, Allan Kaprow, Gordon
Matta-Clark and George Segal.

John Baldessari
Catalogue Raisonné
Volume Two: 1975–1986
Edited by Patrick Pardo
and Robert Dean
Compiling four-hundred-plus
unique works of art, this volume
traces the shifts and
developments in conceptual artist
John Baldessari’s work from 1975-86. It covers his photobased
works such as the ‘Strobe’, ‘Word Chain’ and ‘Pathetic
Fallacy’ series from 1975; the ‘Violent Space’ and the seminal
‘Concerning Diachronic/Synchronic Time: Above, On, Under
(With Mermaid)’, from 1976; and the ‘Blasted Allegories’
series from 1977–78, which drew heavily from the artist’s vast
collection of photo stills taken from commercial television.
An introductory critical essay will provide a close reading of
selected works and a historical context for understanding
Baldessari’s art from this period. A detailed chronology and
exhibition history and bibliography are also included.
This is the second in a projected four-volume series of the
complete catalogue of works by John Baldessari.
Patrick Pardo is research editor and Robert Dean is editorial
director of the John Baldessari Catalogue Raisonné.

Barbara Chase-Riboud
The Malcolm X Steles
Edited by Carlos Basualdo
Born in Philadelphia and living and
working between Paris and Rome,
Barbara Chase-Riboud is an
internationally celebrated visual
artist, novelist and poet. This
important publication focuses on
her monumental series of sculptures
dedicated to the assassinated civil rights leader Malcolm X. Begun
in 1969, Chase-Riboud’s series is explored in terms of developing
artistic practice; her travels to China and North Africa; and her
experiences in Europe, particularly during the cultural, political
and social upheavals of the 1960s. The volume also includes a
fascinating analysis of the Malcom X sculptures in light of critical
debates on abstract art’s role in memorialising the past.
This book presents an illustrated checklist of the 13 sculptures
in the series, related drawings and sculptures, and a
chronology of Chase-Riboud’s life and career.
