Sorrybut her sculptures may have been different, material based... however.....in fact where is the sculpture? Most flat, one dimension , most on floor or wall. More like painting... except for the repetitive vessels... this seems more like an art marketing triumph, if not conspiracy. Moved? Really? How can one be moved. Absurdity doth not maketh it art 😅 Yes sad, she died young....
I've found her work profoundly moving, as have countless other artists. It seems as though you have very specific ideas about what sculpture is, and those definitions prevent you from having a more expansive view. I suggest you look at more of her work--particularly the Accession boxes--and see if your opinion is the same. If you can see any in person, that would be better. As for your accusations of "art marketing triumph," no one has gotten rich from the sales of the few pieces that remain. There aren't enough to make them desirable by investors. And no investor would buy a latex piece because of the extraordinary efforts it takes to conserve them. You might try supporting your criticisms up with well-considered critique rather than cynical, unimaginative dismissal.
Hesse was a genius, but genius is sometimes not understood. Her are it so contemporary. She was way ahead of her time.
In an interview with cindy nemser, hesse said that her art was about her inner soul, and rejected an intellectual approach such as minimalism.
And yet she was highly intellectual. The combined power of heart, mind, and hand are what make her work so compelling to me.
Absurdity= nihilism, in Hesse sculpture
