Louise Bourgeois, 1911 – 2010
(Dimitri Yeros 2007)
With deep sadness, we join the Bourgeois family, Jerry Gorovoy and Wendy Williams in mourning the passing of Louise Bourgeois on 31 May.
Louise Bourgeois’s subject was always her life and experiences. ‘Art’, she once said, ‘is the experiencing – or rather the re-experiencing – of a trauma’. Through her innovative approach to media and her feminist stance she created a body of work whose distinctive and sensual treatment of forms has proved a major influence to younger generations of artists. She is remembered with great admiration and fondness and will be deeply missed by all who knew her and her art.
A solo exhibition of Bourgeois's work is currently on view at the Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens until 12 September, as well as 'Louise Bourgeois/Hans Bellmer – Double Sexus' at Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg, Berlin until 15 August. A major exhibition of Bourgeois's fabric drawings and large-scale sculptures will be on view at the Fondazione Vedova in Venice from 5 June. This exhibition will travel to Hauser & Wirth London, opening on 14 October.
