Explore the exceptional career of Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), one of the most influential artists of modern times. With over 40 works, including some rarely seen in the UK, such as Lair (1962) and The Couple (2007-2009). Louise Bourgeois: Nature Study demonstrates Bourgeois’ versatility, as well as the enduring emotive power of her art.

The exhibition brings together drawings, prints, paintings, textile pieces and sculptures made across the artist’s decades long career, from a rare early painting, made in the 1940s, to examples of her iconic bronze Spider sculptures from the 1990s, and A l’Infini, a series of monumental prints which envelop and immerse the viewer, made during the final years of Bourgeois’ life.

Spreading seamlessly from the galleries into the landscape, the exhibition will explore important themes within Bourgeois’ work including cycles of time and nature, landscape as a metaphor for the mind and body, and the importance of memory. Presented in collaboration with ARTIST ROOMS and The Easton Foundation, New York.

The exhibition features important loans from The Easton Foundation as well as a remarkable body of work from the national collections of ARTIST ROOMS, Tate and National Galleries of Scotland.
