Eva Hesse
There are two Eva Hesse shows on in New York at the moment, one at the Drawing Center, and one at the Jewish Museum.
Andrea Zittel
Critical Space, now on at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, is Andrea Zittel’s first major show. For over a decade she has been investigating “lifestyle” with more intensity than the average scientific mind.
