Eva Hesse!
some facts about her:
-minimalist sculpture
-satire of Greenberg modernism
-Gaus-like bandaged strips wrapped around frame "need repairing"
-wire sticking out at the viewer to contrast Greenbergism "flat and pure"
-female artist; hard for a woman to break into abstract expressionism and she calls it out
-said she wanted her to work to be "non-art, nonconnotative, non-anthropomorphic, non-geometric, non-nothing, everything but of another kind, vision, sort"
-express the strangeness and absurdity she considered the central conditions of modern life
