Abstract

Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) is celebrated today for her sculptures. Less known-and the focus of this publication-is the body of paintings produced by the artist between her arrival in New York in 1938 and her turn to three-dimensional media in 1949. Crucial to her artistic practice, these early works-rarely seen or exhibited-show Bourgeois's deeply personal artistic lexicon. Themes and motifs explored in her paintings coalesced into those that she would continue to mine during her decades-long career: the clock, the spiral, the Femme Maison (a woman's body with a house for a head), and the columnar figures that heralded her totemic Personage sculptures. Informed by new archival research and the artist's extensive diaries, the book's essays and illustrated chronology explore Bourgeois's relationship to the New York art world of the 1940s-transformed by the arrival of European Surrealists and the emergence of the New York School-and her development of a pictorial language combining abstraction, figuration, and storytelling.

Abstract

Louise Bourgeois: The Return of the Repressed shows the enduring presence of psychoanalysis as a motivational force and a site of exploration in her life and work. Selected and edited by Philip Larratt-Smith, her literary archivist, these texts provide a comprehensive overview and re-reading covering 60 years of artistic production. The second volume in this gorgeous set also serves as an impressive and up-to-date monograph, detailing works up until the artist's death in 2010. An astonishing selection of approximately 80 unpublished writings by Louise Bourgeois appears here in print for the first time, which, combined with eight extensive scholarly essays turns our critical understanding of Bourgeois' work on its head. A new and unprecedented insight into the work of one of the 20th century's greatest artists.

Abstract

This book documents a unique collaboration between the artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) and the architect Peter Zumthor (born 1943). The 'Steilneset Memorial', opened in 2011, is a monument in Vardø, Norway, commemorating the 17th-century trial and execution of 91 women for witchcraft. The brainchild of the National Tourist Routes project in Norway (a government-sponsored initiative which aims to attract visitors to remote but exceptionally beautiful locations), the 'Steilneset Memorial' started out as a modest monument to honor the victims of the witchcraft trials, to be built on the site where the burnings originally took place. But the project, which would be Bourgeois' last major work, grew in the hands of Zumthor and Bourgeois into two distinct, haunting structures.
