Louise Bourgeois
Tate Modern, London
Over a long career, Bourgeois has worked in dialogue with most of the major international avant-garde artistic movements of the twentieth century, from Surrealism to Conceptual art, but has always remained uniquely apart, powerfully inventive and often at the forefront of contemporary practice. Engaging in a wide variety of both modern and traditional techniques, she has explored her themes in a great variety of styles from abstraction to the realism of the ready made.
Retrospective
In October 2007 Tate Modern presents the first major survey since 1995 of the work of the French-born artist Louise Bourgeois (b.1911). The exhibition will provide an unprecedented opportunity to reassess her work.
