Collection: Louise Bourgeois

Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010, Paris/New York) was a sculptor, installation artist, and printmaker whose practice engaged with memory, the body, sexuality, family, anxiety, and repair across seven decades. Her work ranges from the early Personages of the late 1940s through the Cells of the 1990s and the spider sculptures of the Maman series, to late works in fabric, text, and drawing. She is among the most significant artists of the twentieth century.

Bourgeois held major retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1982); the Tate Modern, London (2007–2008); and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Her estate is managed by the Easton Foundation. Hauser & Wirth has represented her estate since 2005.

This collection gathers exhibition invitations, brochures, catalogues, and printed matter relating to Bourgeois’s practice and posthumous exhibition history.
