Louise Bourgeois, RIP


Extremely late but important none the less, Louise Bourgeois recently passed away at the age of 98.

A woman whose art inspired contemporary artist Tracey Emin and Irish fashion designer Simone Rocha, Bourgeois was regarded as a pioneering voice in 21st century confessional art and it is difficult to assess the role of contemporary French art without taking into account Bourgeois' intense and enveloping style of sculpture.

An artist that will undoubtedly be greatly missed.
