The sculptor Louise Bourgeois is best known for her monumental abstract sculptures, one of the most striking of which is the installation Spider (1997). Too vast in scale to be viewed all at once, this elusive structure resists simple narration. It fits both no genre and all of them—architecture, sculpture, installation. Its contents and associations evoke social issues without being reducible to any one of them. Here, literary critic and theorist Mieke Bal presents the work as a theoretical object, one that can teach us how to think, speak, and write about art. Known for her commentary on the issue of temporality in art, Bal argues that art must be understood in relationship to the present time of viewing as opposed to the less-immediate contexts of what has preceded the viewing, such as the historical past of influences and art movements, biography and interpretation. In ten short chapters, or "takes," Bal demonstrates that the closer the engagement with the work of art, the more adequate the result of the analysis. She also confronts issues of biography and autobiography—key themes in Bourgeois's work—and evaluates the consequences of "ahistorical" experiences for art criticism, drawing on diverse sources such as Bernini and Benjamin, Homer and Eisenstein. This short, beautiful book offers both a theoretical model for analyzing art "out of context" and a meditation on a key work by one of the most engaging artists of our era.

Award-winning creators, Amy Novesky and Isabelle Arsenault, present a picture book biography of a beloved artist in Cloth Lullaby: The Woven Life of Louise Bourgeois. Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) was a world-renowned modern artist noted for her sculptures made of wood, steel, stone, and cast rubber. Her most famous spider sculpture, Maman, stands more than 30 feet high. Just as spiders spin and repair their webs, Louise’s own mother was a weaver of tapestries. Louise spent her childhood in France as an apprentice to her mother before she became a tapestry artist herself. She worked with fabric throughout her career, and this biographical picture book shows how Bourgeois’s childhood experiences weaving with her loving, nurturing mother provided the inspiration for her most famous works. With a beautifully nuanced and poetic story, this book stunningly captures the relationship between mother and daughter and illuminates how memories are woven into us all. “With evocative, gorgeous illustrations and an inspirational story of an artist not often covered in children’s literature, this arresting volume is an excellent addition to nonfiction picture book collections, particularly those lacking titles about women artists.” —Booklist, starred review

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.

"There is a constant desire to manipulate instead of being manipulated. Art is manipulation without any intervention." So said Louise Bourgeois in a 1988 statement, and so she has attempted to do throughout her life's work, which continues to this day. This modest yet comprehensive volume reveals Bourgeois' Life as Art, reproducing a range of work from throughout her career alongside a selection of photographs, incisive essays and an illustrated biography.

"With contributions by Marie-Laure Bernadac, Paulo Herkenhoff, Rosalind Krauss, Julia Kristeva, Donald Kuspit, Elisabeth Lebovici, Lucy Lippard, Mignon Nixon, Linda Nochlin, Alex Potts, Robert Storr, Marina Warner. Louise Bourgeois is one of the most important artists at work today, and this is the first major survey of her work in over a decade. Born in Paris in 1911, she settled in New York in 1938, beginning to exhibit her work shortly afterwards. Despite early success-one of her works was purchased for The Museum of Modern Art in 1951-she did not receive widespread acclaim until the seventies, after the deaths of her husband and father. Since the, she has become one of the most successful living artists. Bourgeois is a sculptor of immense distinction working with many materials, from marble and bronze to latex, fabric and mirrors. She has exhibited worldwide, producing a beguiling body of work featuring among other things spiders, cages and a range of found and sculpted objects. Her early childhood is a recurring theme that fuels her work. In 1982, Bourgeois was the first woman artist to be given a retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1993 she represented the United States at the Venice Biennale and was the first artist to have a solo exhibition at Tate Modern in 2000. Developed in close collaboration with the artist and accompanying a major retrospective exhibition that is touring internationally, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Bourgeois's entire career. Designed as an illustrated glossary to her life and work it covers everything from A for Abandonment to W for Words, via F for Family, Father Figures, and Feminism and S for Sexuality, Studio, and Suicide. Also included are selected writings by Bourgeois herself and a full chronology making it the most thorough and up-to-date publication on the artist available." --

This catalogue accompanies a major solo exhibition of Louise Bourgeois.Her paintings from the 1940s will be placed in dialogue with a selection of sculptures, installations, drawings, and prints from all periods of her storied career.By the 1990s, she had won global renown for her artistic achievements, becoming famous for her monumental spider sculptures and room-sized Cells. But it was in her oil paintings made between 1938 and 1949 that the French-American artist first developed the formal vocabulary and defined the thematic concerns that she would continue to explore over the following six decades.In an oeuvre which covered a wide range of formal and material experimentation, Bourgeois succeeded in expressing contradictory impulses and binary oppositions - figuration and abstraction, male and female, conscious and unconscious - within a single work.This is the English edition of this title.Published on occasion of the exhibition 'Louise Bourgeois: Persistent Antagonism', 22 Sep 2023 - 28 Jan 2024, Belvedere, Vienna.

Financial Times Book of the Year The extraordinary artist, the spider woman, the intellectual, the rebel, the sly enchantress, and the “good girl” sing together in this exuberant, lithe text beautifully translated by Cole Swensen. This brilliant portrait of the renowned artist Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) shows a woman who was devoted to her art and whose life was also that of her century. The art world’s grande dame and its shameless old lady, spinning personal history into works of profound strangeness, speaks with her characteristic insolence and wit, through a most discreet, masterful writer. From her childhood in France to her exile and adult life in America, to her death, this phosphorescent novella describes Bourgeois’s inner life as only one artist regarding another can. Included as an afterword is Frémon’s essay about his own “portrait writing” and how he came to know and work with Louise Bourgeois.
