Over a long career she worked through most of the twentieth century's avant-garde artistic movements from abstraction to realism, yet always remained uniquely individual, powerfully inventive, and often at the forefront of contemporary art. She was one of the world’s most respected sculptors, best known for her public-space pieces, grand-scale sculptures of spiders so large they must rest outside. But beginning in the 1960s, she used her own clothing and that of her loved ones as components of her sculptures and designs: a reincarnation of her childhood and her past. Her art would expand into new realms in 2002 when she began to weave together scraps of iridescent-colored fabric, creating works that vary from figures of flowers to chromatic abstractions, constituting a repertoire of truly surprising interweaves. This set of images is collected here in its entirety for the first time, constituting the closest thing yet to a general catalog. Review: A must have for Bourgeois fans - This beautiful book catalogues an exhibition by the same name , first held in Venice in 2008. Paper and print quality are generous. The essay [by Germano Celant ], the chapter listing the catalog of L.B's important exhibitions , and the listing of work done in terms of yearly periods/phases - are each intelligently presented ,fleshing out ideas about her work with a freshness and clarity . There is more insight and generosity here than most other L.B publications.[Publication originally in Italian , the translation occasionally apparent]. The photographs are beautiful , following both iconic and less known work. Louise Bourgeois died in 2010 at the age of 99 , the book describes a steady path through this long life , a surprising consistency , editing and remembering and repairing , and possibly redemption expressed in the feminine mother heroine softness of the fabric woven spider illustrated on the cover . Given this argument , this mother spider should be as iconic to L.B's work as the massive sensational[ist] metal spiders have become. This book is essential to a comprehensive understanding of L.B's work as 'repairer'of self. Review: Fantastic service - The book is in better condition than I expected for an ex-library book, and it is a really brilliant book. If you're a Louise Bourgeois fan, it's a must. So many fantastic pieces of work within the pages. This seller sent the book very well packaged and it arrived in Italy quicker than expected. I was concerned with ordering such a big book, especially one I really wanted, all the way from the US but I'm glad I took the risk. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #895,537 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #272 in Conceptual Arts (Books) #660 in Individual Artists' Books #812 in Textile & Costume (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 52 Reviews | ## Images ![Louise Bourgeois: The Fabric Works - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DKTaUFl0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for Bourgeois fans *by J***Y on December 31, 2011* This beautiful book catalogues an exhibition by the same name , first held in Venice in 2008.
