Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin, When my cunt stopped living, 2009-2010For those of you lucky enough to be in NY and have the time there is the must not miss, so sad I did miss, exhibit of the collaborative series of, wait for it....
Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin
Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin, I just died at birth, 2009-2010Only 2 of the small group of artists that have most influenced and inspired me. For the last two years these amazing women collaborated together to create a new series of prints entitled "Do Not Abandon Me." Most of which consist of LB's signature and poignant images in watercolor combined with Tracey's biting, honest, and revealing text.
I found out about the show literally a day before I was leaving to go out of town so am unable to see it myself but the work is on view at Carolina Nitsch until November 13.

I personally could not think of a more appropriate collaboration then these 2 brutally honest, courageous female artists whom are both deeply haunted by their past. I am sure that Emin was beyond honored and excited to work with such a legend as Louise, one that the art world misses profoundly.
In an interview with the BBC Emin stated:
Read a great article about the collaboration and exhibit here.
and luckily for those of us that miss the exhibit there is a catalogue, this is my number one item for my Christmas list for sure!

In an interview with the BBC Emin stated:
... working with Louise on a collaboration for the last two years. It was a symbiotic thing. Because we both work with our hearts and what actually drives us emotionally, we connected very, very well and I have felt deeply privileged to have been able to work with her. So she’s not really an influence, more of a kindred spirit.
