A must-have for the core contemporary art audience: Robert Storr's
singular and long-awaited book is unprecedented in treating the
full range of Louise Bourgeois's artistic achievement. In a career
spanning nearly 75 years, Louise Bourgeois created a vast body of
work that enriched the formal language of modern art while it
expressed her intense inner struggles with unprecedented candor and
unpredictable invention. Her solo 1982 retrospective at The Museum
of Modern Art launched an extraordinarily productive late career,
making her a much-honored and vivid presence on the international
art scene until her death in 2010 at the age of 98. Trained as a
painter and printmaker, Bourgeois embraced sculpture as her primary
medium and experimented with a range of materials over the years,
including marble, plaster, bronze, wood, and latex. Bourgeois
contributed significantly to Surrealism, Postminimalist, and
installation art, but her work always remained fiercely independent
of style or movement. With more than 1000 illustrations, Intimate
Geometries: The Art and Life of Louise Bourgeois comprehensively
surveys her immense oeuvre in unmatched depth. Writing from a
uniquely intimate perspective, as a close personal friend of
Bourgeois, and drawing on decades of research, Robert Storr
critically evaluates her achievements and reveals the complexity
and passion of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth
century.
