Louise Bourgeois @ Compton Verney

The exhibition brings together works on paper, paintings, textile pieces and sculptures made across the artist’s seven-decade long career, from a rare early painting, made in the 1940s, to examples of her iconic bronze Spider sculptures from the 1990s, and À l’Infini, a series of monumental works on paper that envelop and immerse the viewer, made during the final years of Bourgeois’ life. Spreading seamlessly from the galleries into the landscape, the exhibition explores important themes within Bourgeois’ work including cycles of time and nature, landscape as a metaphor for the mind and body, and the importance of memory.
