Louise Bourgeois: The Woven Child
Auteur(s) : Collectif
Exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, 9 February - 15 May 2022;
then at the Gropius Bau, Berlin, 21 July - 16 October 2022
This exhibition catalogue provides a comprehensive overview of the fabric works from the last two decades in the career of Louise Bourgeois (1911-2020).
This body of work began when the artist started incorporating clothes from all stages of her life into her art, and later expanded to include a range of other textiles such as bed linen, handkerchiefs, tapestry, and needlepoint. The fabric works mine the themes of identity and sexuality, trauma and memory, guilt and reparation, and serve as metaphors for emotional and psychological states.
Are featured works from numerous series, including the monumental Cell installations, figurative sculptures, and abstract drawings.
