    Louise Bourgeois, born in 1911 in Paris, France, and passed away in 2010 in New York City, the United States of America, is a truly iconic artist, best known for her often monumental sculptures, installations and prints. Her career spans across seven decades, establishing herself as one of the most important artists of the contemporary era.
    Her creative process is marked by an introspective reality, rooted in her cathartic re-visitations of early childhood trauma. Occupied with these autobiographical elements, she examines female sexuality, but also jealousy, violence, anxiety, feminism and loneliness. Recurring motifs in Bourgeois’ conceptual and stylistically complex oeuvre, are body parts, houses, cages, and arguably most famously her monumental spiders.
    Bourgeois’ multidisciplinary practice encompasses sculpture, installation, drawing, prints, and even works in fabric. She often combines traditional marble or bronze with every day objects. An imbued value enters those objects with her personal symbolism and an act of psychological release, playing upon the powers of association, memory, fantasy and fear.

    Wow! Very interesting. I learned so much more from this comprehensive film of Louise Bourgeois in a mere 15 minutes. I don't know how you do this, but you surly do it well. What public institution holds the most extensive collection of her work? (If you know this off tho top of your head. I of course am a bit lazy in doing research but for this I will get busy.

      Hi George, thank you so much for your charming compliments. I am not really sure to be honest. Guggenheim has the great spider sculpture, Pompidou has a series of drawings by Bourgeois, Tate Modern has a Cell and MoMA has an enormous amount of early works, mainly prints in their collection.

    I do not consider any of her works to be Art. It's just not interesting and takes up a lot of space, therefore it is all a form of narcissism.

      All art has at least an element of narcissism. What gives it meaning is when the artist's narcissism and that of the viewer's connect.
