The first major survey of the work of the French born artist Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911) since 1995.

The exhibition will provide an unprecedented opportunity to reassess her work.

Over a long career Bourgeois has worked in dialogue with most of the major international avant-garde artistic movements of the twentieth century, from Surrealism to Conceptual art, but has always remained uniquely apart, powerfully inventive and often at the forefront of contemporary practice.

Engaging in a wide variety of both modern and traditional techniques Bourgeois has explored her themes in a great variety of styles from abstraction to the realism of the ready-made.
