Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin celebrate the collaborative show of sculpture and painting in a new series of works entitled ‘Do Not Abandon Me’ which will show at Carolina Nitsch gallery in New York. ‘Emin spoke of her friendship with the 98 year old artist in an interview with Kisa Lala in early 2010, stating: “I asked if I could meet her, and she said yes. Now we’re doing a collaboration. Louise makes watercolor prints and I do drawings over the top.” The prints use a new technique that transfers the dye from Bourgeois’ original gouache drawings onto fabric, to which Emin added text and drawings in black ink.’ The show will run through until November 13th, 2010. See works below.
