Author Description

Voorlinden presents 'Louise Bourgeois: To Unravel a Torment', a six-decade survey exhibition featuring forty pivotal works from the Glenstone Collection, The Easton Foundation and Voorlinden. It has been almost thirty years since the art of Louise Bourgeois has been shown on such a broad scale in the Netherlands. Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was a radical figure who pursued her own course with wit, intelligence, and daring at times out of step with prevailing taste and ideas. Today she is recognized as an icon of late 20th century art, who combined personal narrative and psychological insight with extraordinary artistic innovations. Exhibition: Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar, The Netherlands (12.10.2019-12.10.2020).
