Plakat LOUISE BOURGEOIS A1

Louisiana poster with the work, Saint Sebastienne – Saint Sebastian , (1992), by the French-American artist, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2011). Bourgeois’ works have been exhibited several times at Louisiana and her sculptures and prints are captivating, organic and alive. The works can be seen as models for survival and insight into life.

Bourgouis is a central figure in modern art history – and in Louisiana’s collection. A retrospective exhibition in 2003, Louise Bourgeois – Life as Art, was followed in 2016 by the exhibition, Louise Bourgeois. Structures of Existence: The Cells – a display of large, spatial “sculptures” from the artist’s later years: open and dissected figures, with a rawness and rigor that was typical of Louise Bourgeois.
