Summary:
Née en 1911 à Paris, installée à New York depuis 1938 et jusqu'à sa mort en 2010, Louise Bourgeois a créé en plus de 60 ans un univers protéiforme qui, échappant à tous les « -ismes » du XXe siècle, est à la fois ancré dans une expérience personnelle singulière et ouvert sur l'histoire et l'histoire de l'art, exprimant la complexité et la permanence du désir à partir d'événements récurrents. Son œuvre, marquée par un vif intérêt pour la psychologie, sonde les émotions humaines : l'amour, la dépendance, la sexualité, le rejet, la jalousie et l'abandon.

Summary:
Louise Bourgeois' work is profound and coherent, a cross between surrealism and expressionism, psychoanalysis and feminism, a fusion between object and concept. By means of spiral writing, symbolic in her prints, the artist rewrites her past through female identity and body image, a corporal synthesis of her every emotion and fear. She destroys and reconstructs her(...)

Summary:
Louise Bourgeois' work is profound and coherent, a cross between surrealism and expressionism, psychoanalysis and feminism, a fusion between object and concept. By means of spiral writing, symbolic in her prints, the artist rewrites her past through female identity and body image, a corporal synthesis of her every emotion and fear. She destroys and reconstructs her memories, like strange mutations or reflections in a distorted mirror.

Summary:
In materials as diverse as wood, steel, bronze, latex, marble, plaster, resin, hemp, lead, ink, pencil, crayon, woodcut, watercolor and gouache, Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) investigates every imaginable manifestation of the spiral, from graphic patterns to graphite whorls, wobbly orbits to chiseled vortices, twisted columns to coiling snakes, staircases and pyramids. The cursive blue-paper word drawings also included, in English and French, complement the purely visual works by conveying the spirit of Bourgeois' writing in extraordinary pictorial forms. Bourgeois called the spiral ''an attempt at controlling the chaos. It has two directions. Where do you place yourself, at the periphery or at the vortex?''

Summary:
Louise Bourgeois' tapestry and needlepoint work deals with reparation in both a literal and metaphorical sense. In many of the works, fragmented tapestries are pieced together and repaired to create new sculptural forms. The recurring practices of weaving, stitching and mending express Bourgeois' identification with her childhood and the family business of tapestry restoration. Coupled with the medium of tapestry, Bourgeois' recurring motif of the spider symbolizes her mother, a weaver, and fully explores the complex relationship between mother and child. This publication includes archival photographs and facsimile documents from the Bourgeois family archive, as well as excerpts from the artist's psychoanalytical writings.
