| BACKGROUND | Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911, settling in America in 1938. She began exhibiting in New York in the 1940s and has played a vital role in contemporary art for over half a century. Her 1982 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, was the gallery’s first ever retrospective of a woman artist. Since then, Bourgeois has exhibited worldwide, producing a body of work in a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, drawing and installation. In 1993 she represented the USA at the Venice Biennale and was the first artist to have an exhibition at Tate Modern when it opened in 2000. |
