Now open in New York, a rare unveiling of late sculptures, reliefs and works on paper—many shown for the first time—tracing Louise Bourgeois’ profound exploration of abstraction alongside key earlier works.

‘Gathering Wool,’ curated by Philip Larratt-Smith, explores the artist’s complex relationship to abstraction through a series of late sculptures, reliefs and works on paper, many of which have never been exhibited before. These will be installed alongside a selection of earlier works to illuminate the consistency of Bourgeois’s themes and her development of a symbolic abstract language.
