Old-Age Style: Late Louise Bourgeois

Tue, Sept 16, 6:30 pm
Linda Nochlin, Professor of Modern Art at NYU Institute of Fine Arts, discusses Louise Bourgeois's "late style" within the context of the artist's long and distinguished career. Focusing on Bourgeois's recent stuffed fabric sculptures, Professor Nochlin contrasts this characteristic "soft" production with the more architectonic sculptures dating from the same period.
