In Conversation: Felix Harlan & Maggie Wright on ‘Louise Bourgeois. Once there was a mother’

On the occasion of the exhibition ‘Louise Bourgeois. Once there was a mother’ at Hauser & Wirth’s newly dedicated Editions space, we joined Harlan & Weaver’s Felix Harlan and The Easton Foundation’s Maggie Wright in conversation
Celebrated for large-scale sculpture and installation art, Bourgeois was also an inventive and prolific printmaker, especially during the last decade of her life. Centered around one of her most powerful themes-motherhood and maternity-the exhibition places Bourgeois’s printed works in relation to sculptures and drawings to highlight the essential role printmaking played within her multifaceted practice. It is the first show to focus on Bourgeois’s prints since the 2017-18 MoMA exhibition, ‘Louise Bourgeois: An Unfolding Portrait,’ curated by Deborah Wye, who is also the editor of the online catalogue raisonné of Bourgeois’s prints and books.
