“Repetition Nineteen III,” created in 1968 by artist Eva Hesse, is an installation work of fiberglass rooted in the Post-Minimalism art movement. It is housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork consists of multiple translucent, cylindrical forms arranged irregularly on a wooden floor. The contours of each cylinder vary, with each exhibiting slight imperfections and variations, evoking a sense of both uniformity and individuality. The semi-transparent material allows light to filter through, casting gentle shadows and accentuating the textures and irregularities of the forms. Overall, the arrangement appears both deliberate and organic, inviting viewers to contemplate notions of repetition, variation, and imperfection.
