Property from a Private European Collection Louise Bourgeois Fugue 2003-05 The complete set of 19 screenprints in colours, on Stonehenge cream paper, the full sheets, 33 x 45 x 3.2 cm (12 7/8 x 17 3/4 x 1 1/4 in.) all signed with initials on the front, annotated #1 through #19 consecutively and numbered 9/9 on the reverse in pencil, further signed and numbered on the colophon in pencil (there was also one artist's proof), published by Procuniar Workshop, New York, contained in the original pale blue fabric-covered portfolio.
Provenance David Procuniar, New York Catalogue Essay Other portfolios from this edition are held in permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland Read More Artist Bio Louise Bourgeois French-American • 1911 - 2010 Known for her idiosyncratic style, Louise Bourgeois was a pioneering and iconic figure of twentieth and early twenty-first century art. Untied to an art historical movement, Bourgeois was a singular voice, both commanding and quiet. Bourgeois was a prolific printmaker, draftsman, sculptor and painter. She employed diverse materials including metal, fabric, wood, plaster, paper and paint in a range of scale — both monumental and intimate. She used recurring themes and subjects (animals, insects, architecture, the figure, text and abstraction) as form and metaphor to explore the fragility of relationships and the human body. Her artworks are meditations of emotional states: loneliness, jealousy, pride, anger, fear, love and longing. View More Works
