Biography

Eva Rothschild is an Irish artist born in 1971 in Dublin, Ireland. She is known for her sculptural works that often explore themes of spirituality, protest, and the aesthetics of the 1960s and 1970s art movements, particularly Minimalism. Rothschild studied Fine Art at the University of Ulster and later completed her MA at Goldsmiths College in London, where she is currently based. Her practice involves a diverse range of materials, including aluminium, jesmonite, leather, fabric, and perspex, and she is recognized for her ability to transform these materials into complex, geometric forms. Rothschild has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at prestigious institutions such as the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Dublin City Gallery, and the Nasher Sculpture Center. In 2009, she was awarded the Tate Britain Duveens' Commission, creating the large-scale installation 'Cold Corners'. Her works are held in major public collections, including MoMA in New York and the Tate in London. In 2019, she represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale, further cementing her status as a significant contemporary artist. Collectors are drawn to Rothschild's work for its bold exploration of form and material, as well as its engagement with historical and contemporary themes.
