Active since the early 1940s, Louise Bourgeois has consistently plumbed her own biography for subject matter and inspiration.
Working with delicate stone sculptures in public spaces and plaster casts of hands, Bourgeois explores memory, emotion, and strength through works that reach viewers on a visceral level.
Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911 and lived in New York, where she passed away in May 2010. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/louise-bourg...
