Louise Bourgeois Dual Exhibitions in Paris, 2002

In late 2002, Louise Bourgeois presented two concurrent exhibitions in Paris. The Palais de Tokyo hosted her work from October 8 to November 24, 2002, while Galerie Karsten Greve exhibited from October 23, 2002 to January 4, 2003. The dual presentations offered a comprehensive view of Bourgeois's practice, spanning sculpture, drawing, and installation. The Palais de Tokyo show marked a significant moment for the newly opened contemporary art space, while the gallery exhibition provided an intimate counterpoint. Bourgeois, then in her nineties, continued to explore themes of memory, trauma, and the body. The exhibitions drew critical attention and reinforced her status as a leading figure in contemporary art.
