Geraldine Collinge's Nature Study
from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue
Artist Louise Bourgeois became a household name late on in her seven-decade long career, and is known best by many for her iconic spider sculptures. However, her body of work explores themes such as life cycles, nature, motherhood, and relationships. As part of its 20 Years of Compton Verney programme, the Warwickshire art gallery and stately home is showcasing Bourgeois’ work in a new exhibition Louise Bourgeois: Nature Study. Jen caught up with CEO of Compton Verney, Geraldine Collinge, to chat about Bourgeois’ life, work, and why she’s so important, as well as how the venue is celebrating the 20th anniversary of opening its doors to the public.
