Louise Bourgeois: 50 Works Spanning 1947–2008 at Galerie Karsten Greve Cologne
Galerie Karsten Greve Köln is presenting a comprehensive solo exhibition of Louise Bourgeois, featuring approximately 50 works from her sculptural and graphic oeuvre created between 1947 and 2008. This marks the gallery's first presentation of her works on paper in nearly a decade, and the exhibition aims to open a dialogue between her sculptural practice and her graphic works, revealing new perspectives. The show continues a long-standing collaboration between Bourgeois and the gallery, which began with her first solo exhibition there in 1990. Bourgeois developed a distinctive visual language over several decades, intertwining her personal history with universal themes of identity, the body, desire, loss, and the human condition. Her oeuvre has had a lasting impact on art history and continues to resonate today. The exhibition highlights the undiminished relevance of her work.
