Louise Bourgeois
Louise Bourgeois' work defies classification, oscillating continually between abstract geometry and organic reality. She uses a range of materials from wood and plaster to marble and latex to explore universal themes-the body, childhood, maternity, and sexuality-from a deeply personal perspective, imbuing them with extraordinary emotional intensity. This comprehensive and richly illustrated monograph is chronological in approach, and brings together her works from early sketches and paintings to later sculptures and installations with which she has astonished the art world. Author Marie-Laure Bernadac skillfully weaves her insightful text with Bourgeois' own words from articles, films, and interviews to provide a unique and highly accessible study of this fascinating and complex artist.

Textes de Marie-Laure Bernadac, Elisabeth Bronfen
"Insomnia has been a lifelong companion to Louise Bourgeois' night hours. Between November 1994 and June 1995, she committed to paper the thoughts, memories, and images that surfaced during her sleepless nights. The resulting 220 drawings are the quintessence of all the impulses, sources, and motifs inspiring her work. The Insomnia Drawings show the artists' mind at work: drawings and sketches alternate with poems and aphorisms in both French and English, interspersed with notes referring to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The series is a unique mirror of an extraordinary woman's life and work: beautiful, disquieting, passionate, inquiring, and imbued with a quirky sense of humor."--back of slipcase.

Louise Bourgeois
Jean-François Jaussaud a rencontré Louise Bourgeois en 1994 dans son atelier de Brooklyn. Passé au crible de ses questions, le photographe est finalement adoubé par l’artiste. Un premier rendez-vous a lieu au printemps 1995, mais à une seule condition : détruire les images si celles-ci ne lui plaisent pas... Jaussaud accepte et passe le « test ». Il obtient alors carte blanche pour photographier librement l’atelier et la maison de Chelsea. Il reviendra pendant onze ans. Ces images rares montrent l’une des plus grandes artistes contemporaines dans son intimité, au coeur de son œuvre.
