Résumé : Spirals are a recurring motif in the work of Louise Bourgeois including her sculpture, painting, and drawings from as early as the 50s through 2010 the year of her death. This book, which accompanied an exhibition at Cheim & Read, New York, is the first to focus on Bourgeois’ use of the spiral which she has described as “an attempt at controlling the chaos. It has two directions. Where do you place yourself, at the periphery or at the vortex?” The spiral is simultaneously “the fear of losing control” and the experience of “giving up control; of trust, positive energy, of life itself.” In another book Bourgeois is quoted as saying “The spiral is important to me. It is a twist. As a child, after washing tapestries in the river, I would turn and twist and wring them… Later I would dream of my father’s mistress. I would do it in my dreams by wringing her neck. The spiral — I love the spiral — represents control and freedom.” In materials as diverse as wood, steel, bronze, latex, marble, plaster, resin, hemp, lead, ink, pencil, crayon, woodcut, watercolor, and gouache, Bourgeois investigates every imaginable manifestation of the spiral, from graphic patterns to graphite whorls, wobbly orbits to chiseled vortices, twisted columns to coiling snakes, staircases, and pyramids. The cursive blue-paper word drawings, in English and French, complement the purely visual works by conveying the spirit of Bourgeois’ poetry in extraordinary pictorial forms.

Résumé : This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fabric works from the last two decades in the career of legendary artist Louise Bourgeois. “I’ve always had a fascination with the needle,” she said, “the magic power of the needle. The needle is used to repair damage. It’s a claim to forgiveness.” This body of work began when the artist started incorporating clothes from all stages of her life into her art, and later expanded to include a range of other textiles such as bed linen, handkerchiefs, tapestry, and needlepoint. The fabric works mine the themes of identity and sexuality, trauma and memory, guilt and reparation, and serve as metaphors for emotional and psychological states. The catalogue – which accompanies the exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, and the Gropius Bau, Berlin – features works from numerous series, including the monumental Cell installations, figurative sculptures, and abstract drawings.

Résumé : Neuf artistes partagent leurs visions de l'oeuvre de la sculptrice à la pratique polymorphe, dont les créations connaissent un grand succès aux Etats-Unis, notamment chez les jeunes générations d'artistes. ©Electre 2022

Résumé : Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) is celebrated today for her sculptures. Less known are the paintings she produced 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—the focus of this groundbreaking publication—show how Bourgeois evolved her deeply personal artistic lexicon, and how the themes and motifs she explored in her paintings coalesced into symbols of her sculptural practice. Informed by new archival research and the artist's extensive diaries, Louise Bourgeois: Paintings explores Bourgeois's relationship to the New York art world of the 1940s and her development of a unique pictorial language, adding a key element to our understanding of this crucial artist’s career.

Résumé : Une vision transversale et complète de la plasticienne, à travers un portrait intime de la femme et un examen approfondi de l'oeuvre : peinture, gravure, dessin, performances et surtout sculpture, intégrant tous les matériaux et toutes les formes, touchant aux pratiques les plus contemporaines. ©Electre 2016

Résumé : Née à paris en 1911, Louise Bourgeois étudia d'abord les mathématiques puis partit vivre à New-York. Restée artiste marginale pendant de longues années, elle devint célèbre et représenta les Etats-unis en 1993, à la Biennale de Venise.Montrant des photographies familiales, le film retrace succintement la vie de celle-ci. Puis, les entretiens qui ont lieu dans son atelier de Brooklyn dévoilent l'univers et la personnalité de cette femme. Louise Bougeois explique son travail, la signification des objets sculptés, sa passion pour la géométrie. Toute son oeuvre s"'inscrit dans une optique psychanalytique : "La sculpture est la seule chose qui me libère..." dit-elle. Les traumatismes de son enfance la poursuivent et la rendent vulnérable. Ses quatre sculptures ou "cellules" ("Choisy", "Hands and Glass Balls", "Arch of Hysteria", "Eves and Mirrors" symbolisent la destruction du père et la recherche de l'immuable.
