Abstract Erotic: Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Alice Adams
I found the
concept of the "abstract erotic" wasn’t well explained and got
confused with the idea of "eccentric abstraction" both coined by
American art critic Lucy Lippard. As far as I can tell both involved the use of
unex
cepted materials and often took a sensual approach to abstraction. The
first room contained works by all three artists to illustrate this.
The second room devoted a section to each artists, Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse and Alice Adams, with an overview of their career and was more approachable.
