| ||||||||||||||||||
This book is rare and autographed by Louise Bourgeois at her studio in New York. Published by the Drawing Center in 1996. Interviews with Bourgeois by Lawrence Rinder, and an introduction by Josef Helfenstein. 133 color illustrations. Bourgeois gives her fascinating reactions to 66 of her drawings. First and Limited Edition. the following review is from Library Journal: Celebrated as an innovative sculptor and feminist, octogenarian Bourgeois is less well known for the nave chemistry of her quirky drawings. This compact publication is issued on the occasion of an exhibition of 130 of her memorably diminutive graphic compositions. All are illustrated in small-format color plates with a documenting checklist. The heart of the book, however, is the valuable text. Having interviewed Bourgeois over several days, Rinder (curator, 20th-century art, Univ. Art Museum, Berkeley) gained general insight into her work and recorded her specific commentaries upon 66 drawings, making them especially vibrant and more accessible to the viewer. Highly recommended for academic collections. (Ideally, specialist research libraries should already possess the earlier Louise Bourgeois Drawings, Robert Miller Gallery, 1988, for larger and better-quality reproductions.)-Mary Hamel-Schwulst, Towson State Univ., Md.
