Description

Louise Bourgeois considered artmaking to be a form of psychoanalysis, and her large body of work reflected that. This exhibition, which will include some items never before presented to the public, explores Bourgeois’ art and psychoanalytic writings as they relate to her complex relationship with Freudian theory and practice.
