A groundbreaking work edited by Germano Celant in collaboration with the
artist and her New York studio that enriches our knowledge of Louise Bourgeois, who has produced art since the 1930s, began
in the 1990s to use her clothes and the clothes of her loved ones as
components in her sculptures and drawings. It is as much a reincarnation
of her past and her childhood as a confirmation of her relationship
with memory. Her visual approach to fabrics transforms decorative
accessories into emotional and personal references which, especially in
her Cells and later in her drawings, create representations of a
tormented and at the same time powerful womanhood. Further development
of the artists work began in 2002: exploiting the iridescent colours and
formal structural properties of pieces of her clothing, she created The
Fabric Drawings, astonishing works alternating between floral
figurative pieces and chromatic abstractions. This set of images is
collected here in its entirety for the first time, constituting the
closest thing yet to a general catalogue.
