Louise Bourgeois: Works in Marble


Widely recognized as one of the most important artists of the 20th Century, Louise Bourgeois’s work encompasses a variety of art forms, from painting, drawings, and prints to installation and scupture. Throughout her career, however, she has returned again and again to one material: marble. This publication assembles her marble works as a single body, exploring the results of Bourgeois’s confrontations with the unforgiving yet organic stone through more than 60 illustrations, as well as an introductory essay by Michaela Unterdörfer.

The Artist

LOUISE BOURGEOIS

Louise Bourgeois, (b. 1911, Paris, France; d. 2010, New York, USA) used the body as a primary form to explore the human condition. From poetic drawings to room-sized installations, she physically manifested her anxieties in order to exorcise them. Memory, love, fear, and abandonment are at the core of her complex and renowned body of work.
