Louise Bourgeois spent much of the past year being celebrated, via a touring retrospective – which closed its fivemuseum tour at the Hirshhorn, Washington, DC, in May – and the documentary movie Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine (2008). At ninety-eight, the indefatigable New York-based French-born artist, one of the world’s most respected and influential sculptors and an icon of feminist art in particular, might well sit back. But no: last month, A Stretch of Time: 40 Jahre opened at Cologne’s Karsten Greve gallery, including works from this year. We don’t know how she does it, but we’re glad she does.
