LOUISE BOURGEOIS/ ODE Á LA BIEVRE

When Louise Bourgeois was 8 years old in 1919, her family moved to the Parisian suburb of Antony where the Bièvre River cut across the garden in a straight line.The river was key to their relocation as it was imperative to the family's business of tapestry restor ation for the washing of the tapestries. In 2002, Bourgeois would distill her emotions and memories of the river and the garden in a n important unique fabric book entitled ODE À LA BIÈVRE.
