The exhibition brought together twenty-five prints, with recurring motifs including womb-like forms, ladders, feet, clocks, scissors, bathtubs and the pregnant mosquito.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA catalogue, but also a compact institutional carrier for works that were themselves built through pressure, incision and return. The private image becomes plate; the plate becomes edition; the edition becomes touring exhibition; the touring exhibition becomes book. Childhood, body, memory and repair are held here in the format of a modest paperback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover image is especially direct: Bourgeois’s mosquito as emblem, red line against a dark institutional field. Inside, the sequence is spare and quiet, giving each print space to operate almost as a page-object rather than illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53976108630354,"sku":"BOURGEOIS-HAYWARD-CAT-2016","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Bourgeois_Louise._Autobiographical_Prints._2016_74fd4d25-eae7-4076-ac6f-ea7a9ee9dacf.jpg?v=1783743037","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/louise-bourgeois-autobiographical-prints-hayward-publishing-2016","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
