Louise Bourgeois – First Edition 2006
£65.00
A first edition, first printing of Louise Bourgeois by Louise Bourgeois, published by Ringier, Zurich in 2006. A near fine copy free from internal inscriptions, boards bound in maroon paper with debossed black gloss graphic of Spiral Woman 2000 by the artist to the front board and similarly black titling to the spine and rear board, boards with some light shelf wear.
Louise Bourgeois by Louise Bourgeois is a large-format art book devoted to Bourgeois’s work, especially through pieces from the Ellen and Michael Ringier collection. It includes quotations from Bourgeois’s diaries selected by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
It is less a conventional biography than a collector-focused visual monograph: strong on images, mood, objects and Bourgeois’s own psychological language. For collectors, it is attractive because of the publisher, the association with Obrist/Ringier, and Bourgeois’s continuing importance as one of the major sculptors and installation artists of the twentieth century.
