Louise Bourgeois
Overview
Rameau d'olivier, 2005
Over the course of eight decades Louise Bourgeois built an iconic body of work that encompassed painting, sculpture, textiles and printmaking. The production of prints formed the most consistent element of her practice and captures her work at its most intimate. Her etchings and lithographs are held in numerous museum collections. The price of her two-dimensional work has risen steadily since her ascent to international fame in the 1980s.
The first female artist to be granted a solo exhibition at MoMA, she also become the most expensive female sculptor when her bronze Spider was sold for £24.5 million in 2019.
