Louise Bourgeois
A celebration of the extraordinary sculptor and her pioneering sculptures and drawings.Survey by Robert Storr, Interview by Paulo Herkenhoff (with Thyrza Goodeve), Focus by Allan Schwartzman, Artist's Choice text by Françoise Sagan, Writings by Louise Bourgeois

Born in Paris, Louise Bourgeois (b.1911) is an extraordinarily influential sculptor equally admired for her intimate drawings and her highly personal writings
Her career spans some 70 years and touches upon such key movements as Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Feminism; after a lifetime of little artistic recognition, Bourgeois now enjoys cult status
Themes such as the Other, the feminine and the masculine, and the body - as well as her own specific biography - spin a tangled and intense life-long body of work
The Interview offers a rare glimpse into the mind of this notoriously reclusive artist
