The article surveys current Chelsea gallery exhibitions, highlighting two major shows: "Louise Bourgeois. Gathering Wool" at Hauser & Wirth (through April 2026) and "Milton Avery: The Figure" at Karma (through December 2025). The Bourgeois exhibition features rarely seen works from the artist's last three decades, including the motorized sculpture "Twosome" (1991) and the fountain "Mamelles" (1991/2005), curated by Philip Larratt-Smith. The Avery show presents a survey of his figure paintings from the 1920s to 1964, emphasizing his flat, interlocking forms and unexpected color palettes.
