Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neu neuware, importqualität, auf lager - Louise Bourgeois one of this century's most distinguished artists. Louise Bourgeois is an utterly unique figure. Born in Paris in 1911, Bourgeois spent most of her career receiving little recognition from the art community until the 1980s, at about the age of seventy. She has worked closely to many of the century key artistic moments, from Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism to feminist-inspired art, and yet remains distinct from all these. An extraordinarily influential sculptor, she has worked, often experimentally, with materials varying from alabaster, plaster, latex, bronze and marble. Her best-known works include her series of Cells, such as The Red Room (Child) 1994:dramatically lit, highly suggestive installation spaces which draw together found objects with magnificent works of figurative and abstract sculpture. She is also admired for her intimate drawings, often combining fragments of text (such as The Insomnia Drawings, featured at Documenta 11, 2002), as well as her highly personal writings. With the backdrop of a conflict and sexually complicated family upbringing, her struggles as an artist in a world reserved for men, as well as her experiences as a mother, the subject of her work is as broad as the materials in which she expresses them. As a figure of outstanding significance in contemporary art, her stature has been recognized by such awards as the American National Medal of the Arts (1991), the French Grand Prix National de Sculpture (1991) and the Venice Biennale's Golden Lion Prize (1999), among innumerable others.
