Back in Stock! Louise Bourgeois: An Unfolding Portrait

We can never get enough of this spread from Ode à l’Oubli (2002), Louise Bourgeois’s first book of fabric collages. Pages are made of linen hand towels from the artist’s trousseau, some of which are embroidered with the new bride’s monogram: LBG (Louise Bourgeois Goldwater). The collages are made from remnants of Bourgeois's old garments. Read more in Louise Bourgeois: An Unfolding Portrait, published to accompany the MoMA retrospective of prints and books that closes today.
