Artist’s Remarks:
Inscribed on the verso of the source drawing: "Rien ne m'échappe j'ai peur de ne pas tout voir."
Curatorial Remarks:
According to the artist's assistant, Jerry Gorovoy, this print composition led to the 2004 Untitled sculpture seen below in Related Works in Other Mediums. There are eyes going around both sides of this sculptural head.
Other Remarks:
According to the Louise Bourgeois Studio, Bourgeois intended to make an edition of this composition, but never completed it. Two of the known impressions on fabric have inscriptions (in an unknown hand) on the verso showing some indication of future editioning: one impression says, "No. 1/7" and the other says, "1 of 2 unique variants."
