ViewThe Stage of Drawing: Gesture and Act. Selected from the Tate Collection
April 5 – May 31, 2003
The Stage of Drawing: Gesture and Act. Selected from the Tate Collection featured 145 works on paper selected by the artist Avis Newman in collaboration with Catherine de Zegher. The exhibition provided a memorable opportunity to view developments in drawing over the past three centuries through the eyes of an artist who has devoted most of her career to drawing. The exhibition featured a wide array of drawings from the mid-1700s to the 1970s by British and international artists and offered a remarkable survey of the formation of Tate's prestigious and rarely exhibited drawing collection.
Organized by The Drawing Center and Tate.

Eva Hesse
Born in Hamburg Germany in 1936, Eva Hesse is one of the icons of American art of the 1960s, her work being a major influence on subsequent generations of artists. Comprehensive solo exhibitions in the past 50 years, as well as a retrospective that toured from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to the Museum Wiesbaden in Germany and finally to the Tate Modern in London, have highlighted the lasting interest that her oeuvre has generated. Hesse cultivated mistakes and surprises, precariousness and enigma, to make works that could transcend literal associations. The objects she produced, at times barely present yet powerfully charismatic, came to play a central role in the transformation of contemporary art practice.
