Lot Essay

was Bourgeois' response to the September 11th attacks. She poignantly represents the architectural feature of a caryatid, a standing female figure used as a pillar to support the weight of a building. The artist produced an edition on paper and on fabric, of which this example is a part. Wye notes "there are variations in the fabrics used in this edition, as is commonly found in the old fabrics Bourgeois chose to use as printing surfaces" (Deborah Wye, , Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2018).
