Pre-Order: Eva Rothschild: The Void Presses The Wall

Published: September 2026, available for preorder now and will be posted out after 21.09.26.

Eva Rothschild is one of the most significant sculptors of her generation. In 2009, she made Cold Corners for Tate Britain’s prestigious Duveen Commission, and in 2019 she represented Ireland at the 58th Venice Biennale with The Shrinking Universe. 

Her visual vocabulary incorporates enduring forms of classical architecture with a clarity of intent reminiscent of twentieth-century minimalist sculpture, but with a singular approach to colour, materials and site. Hers are sculptures born of the city and redolent of the urban landscape. Some of her works – cast or constructed in bronze, plaster and steel – are supported on plinths; they ‘behave’ like sculptures ‘should’. Others stretch, twist, balance, or form whole environments in concrete, polystyrene, cotton and canvas that the viewer must negotiate. Her work creates a constant push-and-pull of the power dynamic between audience and object, drawing attention to how we occupy space.

Published to celebrate an exhibition at Fruitmarket in Edinburgh, this fully illustrated book features work from the last ten years alongside very recent sculpture, finished as the book was going to press. New writing from Andrea Schlieker and Philippa Snow sheds light on Rothschild’s visual language.
