Fugue
Louise Bourgeois's *Fugue* is a portfolio of nineteen prints, each initialed by the artist on the front and annotated consecutively from #1 through #19, with the edition number 8/9 inscribed in pencil on the reverse. Published by Procuniar Workshop in New York, the work reflects Bourgeois's deeply personal and rhythmic approach to printmaking, echoing the musical concept of a fugue through its sequential, interwoven compositions. The prints are housed in their original pale blue fabric-covered portfolio, lending the work an intimate and carefully preserved sense of presentation.
