LEGS 2001 LOUISE BOURGEOIS Photo : Christopher Burke Courtesy of Cheim and Read NY Copyright: Easton Foundation Well, it took a while for me to decide on the uploading of any of Bourgeois works....theoretically many of her pieces should be included on this blog , she has for instance, made several hanging heads on show with these legs at Suspension the exhibition at Cheim & Read in NY ( Oct 2014- Jan 2015) however as a psychiatrist I find her art extremely unsettling reminiscent of psychological pain. I could not resist these legs though, they were the most innocuous of all the hanging exhibits and wonderful for my lower limbs Anatomy corridor in this virtual museum. Apparently the artist who died in her 90s in 2010 was inspired in the making of hanging art by the memories of childhood when in her family home her fathers whole collection of armchairs would hang neatly from the ceiling of their attic. theartofscience/article/legs-anatomy-and-fabric-sculptures/
