The artwork titled “Just Hanging,” created by Louise Bourgeois in 2010, falls under the Confessional Art movement. Originating from the United States, this sculpture measures 76.2 x 61 cm.
The artwork features an abstract form executed primarily in dark blue watercolor, occupying a substantial portion of the composition. The blue form appears to hang, dominating the left portion of the piece. To the lower right, a small, hanging figure rendered in a lighter, sketch-like manner is subtly attached, providing a stark contrast to the larger, amorphous mass. The work, reflective of Bourgeois’ confessional style, evokes themes of tension, suspension, and perhaps vulnerability. The artist’s initials, “LB,” are inscribed in the lower right corner.
