Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places, and undulates slightly. The top edge of the sheet is cut roughly, which is original.

"A woman who carries packages is responsible for what she carries and they are very fragile, and she is totally responsible. Yes it is a fear of not being a good mother" (Louise Bourgeois cited in: Exh. Cat., London, Tate Modern, Louise Bourgeois, 2007, p. 175).
