拍品專文

In 1967, Sol LeWitt put some small test piece sculptures Eva Hesse had given him as gifts in a glass pastry case that he had found on the Bowery. Hesse was so inspired by the new configuration of her works that she made a second case as a 'piece' in 1968, and later in the year the artist made the third and last of the glass case pieces, Untitled ("Kardon Glass Case"). These three works may be seen as some of the most surrealist of Hesse's sculptures, as various unrelated objects and common materials are juxtaposed and then encased in glass, the container imbuding them with a precious quality, another reality. These sculptures may be seen as the physcial culmination and three dimensional version of Hesse's experimentations in collage.
