Xavier Hufkens is pleased to announce an exhibition of late fabric sculptures and gouaches by Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010). For Louise Bourgeois, fabric and sewing held great symbolic significance. Born into a family of tapestry restorers, she was surrounded by textiles as a child, and was witness to her mother's constant efforts at conservation and repair. Bourgeois also helped in the atelier, drawing in the missing parts of tapestries that needed reweaving. The artist came to associate sewing with reconstruction, reparation and reconciliation. In contrast to her earlier bodies of work, in which aggressive acts of separation, like cutting and carving, were predominant, Bourgeois's late work focused on joining elements together, a restorative act that helped to dispel anxiety and her life-long fear of abandonment.

Work Description
Voorlinden presents 'Louise Bourgeois: To Unravel a Torment', a six-decade survey exhibition featuring forty pivotal works from the Glenstone Collection, The Easton Foundation and Voorlinden. It has been almost thirty years since the art of Louise Bourgeois has been shown on such a broad scale in the Netherlands. Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was a radical figure who pursued her own course with wit, intelligence, and daring at times out of step with prevailing taste and ideas. Today she is recognized as an icon of late 20th century art, who combined personal narrative and psychological insight with extraordinary artistic innovations. Exhibition: Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar, The Netherlands (12.10.2019-12.10.2020).
