Description

Louise Bourgeois

Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) is one of the 20th century’s most significant artists. In her highly varied body of work, which encompasses sculptures, objects, installations, drawings, prints and writings, she established a distinctive language, which strongly shaped our understanding of art. Her work is rooted in her own life: drawing intensely on her own experiences, memories, feelings and sensations, she explored the universal themes of human existence.

ANSICHTEN no. 18 provides in-depth insights into Louise Bourgeois’s work. Key topics include: characteristics and specificities, interesting facts, uncharted territories and issues of interpretation.

ANSICHTEN is aimed at art lovers and teachers looking to engage in greater depth with the works of the Fondation Beyeler.

The journal also features a practical section, which presents ideas, tasks and experiments that may be carried out at the museum, at school or at home.

ANSICHTEN playfully provides readers with thorough knowledge of the works of the Beyeler Collection.
