Louise Bourgeois
French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911, settling in New York in 1938. She began exhibiting in New York in the 1940s and has played a vital role in contemporary art for over half a century.

It revealed a sculptor of immense distinction working with many materials, from marble and bronze to latex, fabric and mirrors. Since then, Bourgeois has exhibited worldwide, producing a beguiling body of work featuring spiders, cages, drawings and a range of found and sculpted objects.

Louise Bourgeois
Louise Bourgeois has been on a journey inspired by architecture for six decades, from the early realistic drawings of interiors she made upon her arrival in New York in the late 1930s, to the plaster Lairs of the 1960s, to the Cells and recent commissioned works of the 1990s In her figurative work she has drawn, painted, printed, and sculpted everything from skyscrapers, courthouses, and greenhouses to labyrinths, sanatoriums, towers, nests and of course the many different houses and buildings she has lived in over the years. Throughout her career Bourgeois' work has always had a strong and essential autobiographical element -- and this book illuminates an area of her life that has heavily informed her work, in addition to exploring the relationship of her sculpture to architectural forms.
