- Edition Information:
- This work relates to a group of seven numerically-ordered compositions, dated 2008-2009, which include “Orbits and Gravity” as part of their titles. The four plates that make up this composition appear, but in a different configuration, in Untitled (Orbits and Gravity #1), seen in Related Works in the Catalogue. Refer to that work for further information on the “Orbits and Gravity” project. Since this composition came to light in the final days of producing, “Louise Bourgeois: The Complete Prints & Books,” it could not be fully integrated into that larger project.
