From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It is perhaps the art world's most intriguing collaborations of recent years; drawings begun by the great French artist Louise Bourgeois shortly before she died in May this year, and completed by Britart icon Tracey Emin. Now the collection of 16 works that make up Do Not Abandon Me are coming to London.
The Bourgeois-Emin collaboration began last year when Bourgeois – who was connected to Emin via a mutual friend, the late critic Stuart Morgan – sent Emin a set of 16 delicate gouache paintings of the human form.
According to Gregor Muir, director of the London gallery Hauser & Wirth ,where the works will be shown next February, Bourgeois gave Emin carte blanche to do with them as she wished.
Emin told the Art Newspaper: "I feel Louise was literally holding a baton that I should take, just in terms of passing the work on to me." Emin has long cited Ms Bourgeois as an influence. Her 2005 work The Older Woman bore the sentence: "I think my Dad should have gone out with someone older like Louise, Louise Bourgeois."
