About
Why this artist matters now
Eva Kotthaus was a German performance artist who used her body as a site of direct, unmediated expression. Active from the 1970s onward, she developed a practice centered on gesture, movement, and material intervention that prioritized endurance and embodied commitment. Her performances employed minimal props and deliberate repetition to create durational intensity, challenging conventional notions of the artwork and the artist's presence.
