Louise Bourgeois — Anatomy
Louise Bourgeois

Anatomy

A visceral and deeply psychological work by Louise Bourgeois, *Anatomy* delves into the artist's lifelong preoccupation with the human body as a vessel for memory, trauma, and desire. With characteristic intensity, Bourgeois dissects both physical and emotional interiors, rendering organic forms that blur the boundaries between flesh, psyche, and metaphor. Published by Peter Blum Edition in New York, this numbered print from the edition of 44 reflects Bourgeois's intimate relationship with the printmaking process as a means of confessional and transformative expression.

Medium
All signed with initials and numbered 37/44 in pencil (there were also 10 artist's proofs in Roman numerals), published by Peter Blum Edition, New York.
