"My first experience of great luck was when I was not picked up by the art market and I was left to work by my myself for about fifteen years. I did not consider that I was ignored. I considered that I was being blessed by privacy. This is very, very important to me."
–– Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), French-American artist
