“Addendum,” created by Eva Hesse in 1967, is an installation artwork crafted from wood. The piece is associated with the Minimalism and Post-Minimalism art movements. This notable work is housed in the Tate Modern in London, United Kingdom.
The artwork features a horizontal wooden bar mounted on the wall, from which numerous thin, flexible cords or wires descend vertically. These cords are evenly spaced along the length of the bar, creating an ordered, rhythmic pattern. At the base, the cords coil and loop in various directions, introducing an element of randomness and organic movement to the otherwise structured arrangement. The overall composition embodies a contrast between uniformity and disorder, highlighting Hesse’s exploration of materiality and form.
