LOUISE BOURGEOIS: THE COMPLETE PRINTS & BOOKS
Louise Bourgeois: The Complete Prints & BooksPublishers & Recipients of Benefit Works
Prints, by their very nature, are frequently the medium-of-choice for artists who are asked to create and donate a work to an organization to help with fundraising efforts. They can be produced in large editions, distributed with relative ease, and sold at a price that attracts buyers. The small sculptural objects known as “multiples” can also serve this purpose. Individual artists make these kinds of contributions to aid numerous causes, and they also join together in group projects that result in portfolios of prints that range in style and subject matter and are aimed at a broad audience.
Bourgeois was drawn to many efforts that support humanitarian causes, political issues, and art world institutions. These endeavors ranged from AIDS research, to protesting United States intervention in Central America, to supporting arts organizations.
