- This short Guggenheim-produced documentary covers the extensive research, dialogue, and complex conservation treatment that was carried out to conserve Eva Hesse's "Expanded Expansion," bringing it out of storage after nearly thirty-five years. Despite material changes, "Expanded Expansion" still holds tremendous power and is a testament to a pioneering artist who, despite her untimely death in 1970, left a body of work that pushed sculpture beyond Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, and has deeply influenced the work of younger artists. The film "The Afterlife of Eva Hesse's 'Expanded Expansion' (2022)" was on view at the Guggenheim Museum in New York from July 8 until October 17, 2022 as part of the exhibition "Eva Hesse: Expanded Expansion." The exhibition "Eva Hesse: Expanded Expansion" was curated by Lena Stringari, Deputy Director and Andrew W. Mellon Chief Conservator, with the collaboration of Richard Armstrong, Director, and Esther Chao, Objects Conservator.

- "Victor and Sally Ganz: Discovering Eva Hesse" documents an intimate visit to the couple's famous art collection in their New York City home. The Ganz's describe how they began to collect art in the 1940's, citing Picasso as their first passion. The couple soon became infatuated with more contemporary artists such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella. On a serendipitous Saturday afternoon in 1968, Victor Ganz came upon the work of Eva Hesse in New York's Fischbach Gallery. He was immediately attracted by its freshness and spirit, and together Victor and Sally not only became major collectors, but also soon thereafter close friends of the artist. While recalling the chaotic comfort of Hesse's studio, Sally states, "In her mind, there was certainly no clutter. She knew exactly what she was after. And god knows she achieved it." (Sally Ganz). After the artist's untimely death, Sally and Victor Ganz became instrumental in placing Hesse's key works in significant international museums.
