Born in Paris in 1911, and working in New York from 1938 until her death in 2010, Louise Bourgeois is recognized as one of the most important and influential artists of the past century. Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, and ranging from intimate drawings to large-scale installations, her work expresses a variety of emotions through a visual vocabulary of formal and symbolic equivalents. For over seven decades, Bourgeois’s creative process was a form of catharsis: a way of reconstructing memories and emotions in order to free herself from their grasp. Opening on 25 March and on view through 10 May 2025, Hauser & Wirth will present Bourgeois’s second solo exhibition with the gallery in Hong Kong, organized in collaboration with The Easton Foundation. The show brings together a selection of works from the 1960s to 2008, including rarely exhibited sculptures and works on paper. A three-meter-long fountain installation, ‘Mamelles (fountain)’ (1991), and a steel and marble sculpture, ‘Spider’ (2000), will be shown in Asia for the first time.
