Ode à ma mère (Ode to My Mother): three plates
Louise Bourgeois's *Ode à ma Mère* is a deeply personal suite of three prints in which the artist pays tribute to her mother through her signature intertwining of memory, femininity, and psychological symbolism. The works reflect Bourgeois's lifelong practice of transforming autobiographical experience into visceral yet poetic imagery, drawing on themes of protection, loss, and the complex bonds of maternal love. Published by Les Éditions du Solstice in Paris, this rare hors commerce impression — numbered XVII/XXXV and initialed by the artist — represents an intimate and collectible expression of one of the most significant bodies of work in her celebrated career.
