On the second segment of this week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast, Blanton Museum of Art curator Veronica Roberts details her new exhibition “Converging Lines: Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt,” which examines the two artists’ friendship and the ways in which they informed each other’s work. The exhibition is accompanied by an excellent catalogue co-published by the Blanton and Yale University Press. It reproduces not only numerous works by the two artists, but marvelous examples of their correspondence. It’s available from Amazon for just $25.The exhibition is on view through May 18.

This is an image of the first page of a letter that LeWitt sent to a slightly distraught Eva Hesse in April, 1965. (Click to expand it.) Roberts reads from it on this week’s MAN Podcast and explains how other artists and teachers have shared it with others.
