Aught 1968

"Aught" is a 1968 installation by Eva Hesse, a prominent figure in Minimalism and Conceptual art. The work features four yellow, rectangular panels composed of fiberglass and latex, suspended on the wall. The panels have a slightly crumpled appearance, evoking a sense of fragility and impermanence. Hesse's use of industrial materials challenges traditional notions of artistic media and emphasizes the process of creation. The work's minimalist aesthetic and its focus on the materials themselves make it a significant contribution to the development of postwar art.
