Parkett : The Parkett series with contemporary artists. (Zürich : Parkett-Verlag, 2008)
﻿An extended relationship unites Louise Bourgeois and Parkett. Twenty years ago Louise designed the insert for our 18th issue. Then, in 1991, she did a collaboration for No. 27, alongside Robert Gober. She was 80; he was 37. We recall thinking, at the time, that it was a somewhat daring juxtaposition. Today it seems quite logical and continues to elicit profound inspiration, which is not surprising given the unflagging energy and development of Louise Bourgeois’s oeuvre and its remarkable reception, as illustrated by the current European retrospective that highlights her most recent output. Once again, this art clearly demonstrates what a precise and inimitably seminal voice hers has been through the decades. Delight in the privilege of having been able to trace these developments at first hand resonates in Robert Storr’s article “Bad Mother of Them All-Sister of Some”, which is compellingly seconded by Tracy Emin’s account of visiting her much-admired colleague.
