Louise Bourgeois at the Rijksmuseum

Louise Bourgeois is one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. She became world-famous for her monumental sculptures of spiders. The twelve Bourgeois sculptures on display in the Rijksmuseum gardens this year show a variety of forms and materials. They constitute an intimate journal of recurring themes in the life and work of the artist. The absolute highlights are the huge spiders flanking the museum like guards. This book has been published to accompany the exhibition Louise Bourgeois in the Rijksmuseum Gardens 25 May - 3 November 2019. This is the seventh volume in a series of publications accompanying the annual sculpture exhibition in the Rijksmuseum gardens
