In recent years the marriage between the great protagonists of contemporary art and the classic and modern collections of museums has borne good fruit. They are often operations that aim to certify the prestige of today's artists by associating them with the old art Masters, but in some cases they fall into the category of successful initiatives. This is the case, for example, of the recent exhibition dedicated to Louise Bourgeois held at the Galleria Borghese. Louise Bourgeois knew the Galleria Borghese Collection well. She had visited it for the first time in 1967 on the occasion of her first trip to Rome. Through approximately 20 sculptural works focused on the themes of metamorphosis, memory and the expression of emotional and psychological states, the exhibition explores themes also dear to the artists of the Borghese Collection, reinvigorated for the occasion by the contemporary lens of Bourgeois. New perspectives on human experience, thanks also to the extraordinary diversity of shapes, materials and scales, allow Louise Bourgeois to express a vast range of emotional states.
