About This Item
Potomac, Maryland: Glenstone Museum, 2018. Hardcover. VG (scuffs to cloth boards). Blue cloth boards with white inset and white lettering. 211 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), portraits. The trailblazing work of French - born American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) will be the subject of a five-decade survey exhibition featuring more than 30 works, all from Glenstone's collection, including a recently acquired master piece that was realized at a pivotal moment in her career: the 1974 installation "The Destruction of the Father." On view in the exhibition will be a selection of early wooden "Personage" sculptures; pieces in bronze, marble, plaster, and rubber; suites of drawings and prints; textile-based works; and room-like installations that she called "Cells." In these works Bourgeois forged a unique vocabulary, powerfully and idiosyncratically expressing psychic states and emotions such as anger, fear, and loneliness, and often evoking a sense of disquiet about the strangeness of the human body. In 1974, Bourgeois made a precursor to these Cells with her first installation, The Destruction of the Father, a theatrically-lit diorama depicting primal violence served up as a commentary on domineering father figures and the imaginary revenge they inspire. Exhibition: Glenstone Museum, Potomac, USA.
