Louise Bourgeois - Transatlantique

Louise Bourgeois - Transatlantique 

A truly Transatlantique figure, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), born in Paris, spent most of her life in New York City where she moved in 1938, eventually taking American citizenship. A sculptor of considerable talent with a polymorphous practice, she was recognized and celebrated far earlier in the United States than in France. Marie-Laure Bernadac, a leading expert in Bourgeois's work, invites nine artists from both sides of the Atlantic to share their views of this major artistic figure of the 20th century. Their contributions prove the extent to which Louise Bourgeois continues to fascinate even the younger generations of artists.

About 

Created in 2020 by Elodie Rahard, ER Publishing first launches a book collection titled Transatlantique dedicated to artist's writings and their invaluable perspectives. Each book is devoted to an American or European artist active primarily in the second half of the 20th century. All the contributions are from artists living on the other side of the Atlantic.  They add their perspectives to the critical discussion on the featured artist's practice. Each book is edited by a Guest Editor who is an important actor of the art world and has a great knowledge of the featured artist.
