LONDON.-Hauser & Wirth will present an exhibition of new work by Louise Bourgeois, one of the most important and acclaimed artists alive today. Featuring a major new body of cast sculptures, vitrine work, gouaches and two portfolios of hand-coloured prints, Louise Bourgeois: New Work is the artist’s fifth solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth and will occupy two floors of the gallery’s Colnaghi space. The exhibition can be seen alongside a major Bourgeois retrospective at Tate Modern, also opening in October. At the age of ninety-five, Bourgeois is celebrated as the grande dame of late modernism, a radical and deeply innovative artist whose work continues to captivate and exert great influence. Her art is fuelled by a unique introspective reality, often visualised through an exorcism of her childhood and an unflinching examination of female sexuality. Disturbing, playful, erotic and mysterious, the strength of Bourgeois’ art lies in her ability to give corporeal expression to the complex dramas of her mind.
