A view of the New York skyline from the Museum.

Moma owns a big collection of Louise Bourgeois’ works on paper plus sculptures displayed at this exhibition. I liked these Aquatints, which I feel are sketches for the sculpture below. It represents, according to Bourgeois, fraught family relationships and the psychic effects on the body. ‘The subject of pain is the business I am in’ she said.

This is a beautiful piece. But, because it is in gold, and reflective, it does not seem in pain to me.

The subject of pain.

Between the ages of 94 and 98 (hope for us all) she developed an innovative form of printmaking on a large scale using soft ground, which produced lines as though of pencil. then adding gouache, watercolour and pencil. To Infinity it is called and I liked these pieces very much.

In the atrium were the spiders. One high up on the wall and lit up.

Also on the floor in time for Halloween.
