Louise Bourgeois (1911â€“2010) invented a new kind of language for sculpture--a language that was essentially psychoanalytic, uniquely capable of expressing oedipal struggle, ominous forces of repression, sexual symbolism and material uncanniness. Famed for some of the twentieth centuryâ€™s most enduring works, such as â€œThe Destruction of the Fatherâ€ (1974), â€œArch of Hysteriaâ€ (1993) and â€œMamanâ€ (1999), Bourgeois also disseminated her influence through her writings, collected in the 1998 volume Destruction of the Father/Reconstruction of the Father: Writings 1927â€“1997--originally published by Robert Violette, also the publisher of this new deluxe writings-cum-monograph two-volume set. Louise Bourgeois: The Return of the Repressed highlights the enduring presence of psychoanalysis as a motivational force and a site of exploration in the artistâ€™s life and work. Selected and edited by Philip Larratt-Smith (Bourgeoisâ€™ literary archivist), and contextualized with eight extensive scholarly essays, this collection of approximately 80 previously unpublished writings spans some six decades of the artistâ€™s production. The second volume in this gorgeous slipcased set is an impressive, up-to-date Bourgeois monograph that details works made right up until the artistâ€™s death in 2010. Together, the two volumes comprise the most complete portrait of the life, work and thought of this seminal figure.
