Eva Rothschild’s sculptures combine processes of delicate balancing, stacking, entwining, wrapping and knotting around precise hard-edged geometric structures, as well as implying organic forms such as trees or twigs. Often visually reminiscent of minimalist sculpture, the formal clarity of Eva Rothschild’s work is disrupted by the colour and use of materials that hold specific associations, such as leather fringing, posters, perspex, crystal balls and incense.
Solo exhibitions include the Duveens Commission, Cold Corners, Tate Britain (2009), La Conservera, Murcia (2009), South London Gallery (2007); works presented within group shows include Undone: making and un-making in contemporary sculpture, Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, The Dark Monarch, Tate St Ives and Un-monumental: Falling to Pieces in the 21st Century, The New Museum, New York, USA.
She has works in the collection of Tate, Arts Council, Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Carnegie Museum of Art Collection, Pittsburgh.
Eva Rothschild (b. 1971, Dublin, UK) lives and works in London.
