Eva Hesse Studiowork
5 August – 25 October 2009
The Fruitmarket Gallery’s 2009 Edinburgh Art Festival exhibition is a
solo presentation of the work of German-born American artist Eva
Hesse, a major figure in post-war art. The exhibition is the result of
new research by renowned Hesse scholar Professor Briony Fer and is
curated by Fer and Barry Rosen, Director of The Estate of Eva Hesse.

The End of the Line: Attitudes in Drawing
14 November 2009 – 10 January 2010
A Hayward Touring Exhibition
This exhibition of new and recent work by eleven highly acclaimed
young international artists explores a diverse range of contemporary
approaches to drawing. From small, intricately-crafted pencil drawings
to expanded installations in which the ‘drawn’ lines are made from
masking tape, or in which drawings mutate into animation, the
exhibition celebrates a contemporary resurgence in drawing.

The Fruitmarket Gallery is a publicly funded art gallery of national
and international significance, and is Scotland’s premier contemporary
art space. The Gallery aims to make contemporary art accessible
without compromising art or under-estimating audiences. Its programme
of exhibitions of Scottish and international artists is world-class
and always free.
