Whether intentional or not, the sculpture bears a resemblance to one of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims. You can view the image here (warning - it is not gory, but still disturbing). The caption to the image reads: “Dahmer photographed his victims’ bodies in various positions that he found sexually significant.” I could find no indication that Bourgeois intentionally modelled the sculpture on the Dahmer photograph, and while the poses are not identical, the similarities are striking, including the arched position, the slender frame, the prominent ribs, and the lack of a head.
Laura Wainman wrote a piece on Tony’s home, published for Washington Life on June 5, 2015. In it, Tony lists Louise Bourgeois and Marina Abramovic (of “spirit cooking” fame, see first paragraph above) as among his top five favorite “artists”. But the first “artist” in Tony’s collection mentioned in the article is Serbian painter Biljana Djurdjevic. Here’s a selection of her work.
