fashion forward: louise bourgeois at the guggenheim
June 27, 2008 9:43 am

Though she was born in Paris and has lived in New York for the last 60 years, the first comprehensive Louise Bourgeois exhibit debuted at London’s Tate Modern last year. But now the artist’s adopted city is fortifying the show with added insight into the sculptress’ last 97 years. “A Life in Pictures,” curated by Nancy Spector of the Guggenheim Museum, which opens today, will feature more than 75 personal and professional photographs cherry-picked from the artist’s archive (including some that reveal Bourgeois’ thoughts on fashion) . These images will be shown alongside entries from her journals and sketchbooks. As an added plus, a stellar roster of contemporary art stars such as David Altmejd, Karen Finley, and Marina Abramovic will lead walking tours of the exhibition.
