Lot Essay
"I am not particularly aware, or interested in, the erotic in my work...Since I am exclusively concerned, at least consciously, with formal perfection, I allow myself to follow blindly the images that suggest themselves to me. There has always been sexual suggestiveness in my work. Sometimes I am totally concerned with female shapes-- clusters of breasts like clouds--but often I merge the imagery-- phallic breasts, male and female, active and passive." (D. Wye, Louise Bourgeois, New York 1982, pp. 26-27)
