Louise Bourgeois: Alone and Together

Louise Bourgeois: Alone and Together

Alone and Together accompanies two retrospective exhibitions on Louise Bourgeois (1911â€“2010) curated by her personal assistant and friend, Jerry Gorovoy. As the title of this publication--taken from Bourgeoisâ€™ gouache diptych of the same name--indicates, the artistâ€™s lifelong creative and personal trajectory was determined by the need to, as Gorovoy puts it, "alleviate a core experience of abandonment." Her works take their point of departure from her most meaningful relationships--parents, children and partners--and thus focus on abiding themes of birth, childhood, family and motherhood, the rejections of lovers and other abandonments. Produced over seven decades, the works in this publication demonstrate Bourgeoisâ€™ broad use of materials and scale: from her hanging aluminum sculptures and "cell" installations to her iconic spider sculptures and series of feathery gouache diptychs on paper.
