Includes bibliographical references.
Hesse produced a number of small, experimental works alongside her large-scale sculpture. These objects-test pieces- were made in a range of materials, including latex, wire-mesh, sculp-metal, fibreglass and cheesecloth. The author argues that these small objects radically put into question conventional notions of what sculpture is. By renaming them studioworks, Fer offers a new interpretation of Hesse's historical position and asserts her relevance for contemporary art. This new study argues that the studiowork forces us to ask fundamental questions,not just about what an artwork is, but about the work that art does in our culture.
