BASEL.- To mark her 100th birthday, the Fondation Beyeler is devoting an homage to Louise Bourgeois (25.12.1911 – 31.5.2010), one of the most significant and influential artist personalities of our times. Comprising about 20 exhibits, some of them multipartite, the exhibition represents a concentrated selection from the artist’s oeuvre and address its key themes: an involvement with other artists, a concern with her own biography, and the translation of emotions into objects of art. In addition to works and series of works from renowned international museums and private collections, more recent, previously unexhibited works – including the late cycle À l’infini (2008) – are on view. These are supplemented by groups of pieces from the Beyeler Collection. Especially revealing insights are provided by juxtapositions with paintings by Fernand Léger and Francis Bacon, and sculptures by Alberto Giaco
