Louise Bourgeois: The Fabric Works at Cheim & Read

Installation View

I thought I just loved her spiders, but in fact I found Louise Bourgeois' stitchings rather touching variations upon themselves and 'woman's work.' These abstract drawings are made from scraps of clothes and other domestic material that Bourgeois had hoarded over the years. Per usual, Cheim and Reed has done a lovely job with its exhibition Louise Bourgeois: The Fabric Works. The pieces are perfect sketches in themselves, but seen as a series they make a much greater impression that individually.
