Probably the 20th century's greatest artist, Louise Bourgeois, has died at the ripe old age of 98. I had the privilege of seeing two of her installations. They shocked and fascinated me; it was the first time I felt a woman was tackling something really important, deep and true. I wish I had seen her "Maman" in the opening show of Tate Modern. Oh, well, you can't have everything.
Here a couple of interviews with Louise Bourgeois. The first one focuses on a sculpture very like the black rubber installation I saw at the Berne Kunstmuseum all those years ago. "Sculpture is a kind of exorcism."
There's nothing to add to this. Let's all transform hate into love, whatever we do, wherever we may be. Today more than ever, this is what the world needs.
