- For German author, publisher, see Eva Hesse (author) Eva Hesse (born 1925)
Eva Hesse (January 11, 1936 - May 29, 1970), was born in Hamburg, Germany. When Hesse was two years old, her family fled from Nazi Germany. She was separated from the rest of her family because of an illness, because Americans at the time generally did not accept sick immigrants. They did finally reunite, living in Manhattan's Washington Heights.
Hesse graduated from Yale in 1959. Upon moving to New York she met and married fellow sculptor Tom Doyle. The couple returned to Germany where they lived in a textile mill where she continued her work in Latex, fiberglass, and plastics.
In 1969 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her death in 1970 ended a career spanning only ten years.
