Louise Bourgeois

€13.50
VAT included

Born in France into a family of tapestry restorers, Louise Bourgeois loved studying mathematics and helping her mother with her work as a weaver. She enjoyed drawing so much that, over time, she decided to become an artist.

A dream come true in New York, the city where she would move and live for the rest of her life: here, Louise became the first sculptor to have an exhibition at MoMA. Louise sculpted slender figures representing her loved ones left behind in France, filled entire sheets of paper with words, just like in school, and used objects she had kept from childhood to create her works... She even built a giant spider! And if spiders scare you, after reading this book, you might look at them with different eyes.

After Piero Manzoni, Yves Klein, Jackson Pollock, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Yayoi Kusama, and Banksy, the book dedicated to Louise Bourgeois adds to the series in which the artist Fausto Gilberti tells us, with intelligence and a playful eye, the works of great figures in contemporary art.
