Bourgeois, Louise - National Gallery of Art Washington

Louise Bourgeois: No Exit

French-American artist 

>> Louise Bourgeois's 1911 Paris † 2010 New York

conflicting sides—existentialist and surrealist—will be explored through some 30 works on paper and illustrated books. (20.09.2015 - 14.02.2016).
The focus installation will include important semi-abstract ink drawings from 1947 and 1950 and an extremely rare copy of the artist's He Disappeared into Complete Silence (1947), comprising nine seminal engravings and nine spine-chilling parables. On view at the center of this constellation of works on paper will be Germinal (1967), an alluring marble sculpture that speaks to the very essence of creativity.
