Transatlantique

Paris-born Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was a transatlantic figure who spent most
of her life in New York, where she settled in 1938 before becoming a naturalised
American in 1957. An immense sculptor with a polymorphous practice, she was
recognized and celebrated much earlier in the United States than in France. Marie-
Laure Bernadac, a leading specialist in her work, invites nine artists from both sides
of the Atlantic to express their views on this major artistic figure of the 20th century.
Their contributions show how Louise Bourgeois continues to fascinate younger
generations of artists.
