• Louise Bourgeois’ late sculptural masterpiece ‘Woman With Blue Necklace’ (2005), tenderly rendered, hand-sewn and patched together from cloth, examines the fraught terrain of femininity and motherhood, themes that consumed Bourgeois throughout her life. Spanning over six and a half feet, Philip Guston’s ‘Two Hearts’ (1978) encapsulates the confessional intimacy, introspection and self-revelation that characterize the late achievements of an American giant.
