Louise Bourgeois's First Israeli Solo Show at Gordon Gallery

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Gordon Gallery in Tel Aviv presents 'Pink Days / Blue Days', Louise Bourgeois's first solo exhibition in Israel, running until October 28, 2017. The show focuses exclusively on works on paper and fabric—including old handkerchiefs, bed linen, and clothing—alongside drawings and prints such as lithographs and serigraphs. Curated by Antonello Tolve, the exhibition explores Bourgeois's inner world of dreams, erotic desires, anxieties, solitude, and emotions through a chromatic journey of pink and blue. Highlights include 'Tryptic for the Red Room' (1994) and a series of 'hours' that lend a circular rhythm to the display. The exhibition emphasizes the artist's kinetic acuity and her intertwining of making and thinking, presenting a luminous narrative that bridges time and space.
