Bourgeois, Louise. (1911–2010)
Signed Photograph Postcard with "Fillette"
Photograph postcard signed by the French-American artist best known for her large-scale sculpture and installation art, who was also a prolific painter and printmaker. Bourgeois has signed her portrait on the verso: "To Joe Warfield, with best wishes, Louise Bourgeois, August 1993." In very fine condition. 10.9 x 15.3 cm."In this black and white portrait photograph the French-American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) stands slightly to the right of the frame against a plain grey background. She is shown from her waist up with her body in three quarter profile, and her face turned towards the camera. She wears a dark, tufted monkey fur coat and has one of her sculptures tucked under her right arm, holding it in place with her right hand. This phallic shaped sculpture, Fillette, which translates as ‘little girl’ in French, is a plaster work covered in latex made fourteen years earlier. Bourgeois smiles somewhat mischievously at the camera." http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/mapplethorpe-louise-bourgeois-ar00215 (12755)
