Artist Rooms: Louise Bourgeois, A Woman Without Secrets

The National Galleries of Scotland is proud to announce a major presentation of works by the great French-American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) in an exhibition entitled Louise Bourgeois, A Woman Without Secrets.

Highlighting her late work, the exhibition is a first showing of an outstanding collection of works by Louise Bourgeois now on loan to the national Artist Rooms programme, including Poids (1993), Couple I (1996), Cell XIV (Portrait) (2000), Eyes (2001-2005), and two late masterpieces, the cycle of 16 monumental drawings A L'Infini (2008-2009) and the artist’s final vitrine, Untitled (2010). These works will be augmented by important loans from Tate, The Easton Foundation and private collections. This exhibition will reveal how Bourgeois, working in a variety of materials and scales, explores the mystery and beauty of human emotions.

A new book about the late works of the legendary artist Louise Bourgeois is available now to accompany the exhibition which highlights the artist’s late work, on display now at Modern One. As well as the works now held with Artist Rooms, the publication illustrates important sculptures and works on paper from Tate, The Easton Foundation and the Louise Bourgeois Trust, coming together to offer insights into the practice of this most distinguished artist.
