Louise Bourgeois: I have been to hell and back. And let me tell you, it was wonderful.
"The first major exhibition of Louise Bourgeois in Taiwan… aims to offer visitors an intimate glimpse into the life and emotional struggles of this extraordinary artist. Through Bourgeois’s unwavering artistic spirit, the exhibition profoundly engages with themes of life, memory, and emotion, inspiring deep reflection on human existence and the inner self."

"This major exhibition of Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, and Alice Adams at The Courtauld Gallery foregrounds their shared commitment to using humour and abstract form to ask important questions about sexuality and bodies. The influential critic and curator Lucy Lippard dubbed this kind of work ‘abstract erotic’, and in 1966, Bourgeois, Hesse, and Adams were the only women artists included in Lippard’s ground-breaking exhibition Eccentric Abstraction."
Louise Bourgeois: Drawings from the 1960s will be on view concurrently in the Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Drawings Gallery.
