Exhibition Tour
Louise Bourgeois: Paintings
at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
on view 12 April - 17 August 2022

In this video, we visit the new exhibition Louise Bourgeois: Paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This show is the first comprehensive exhibition of paintings produced by the artist between her arrival in New York in 1938 and her turn to sculpture in the late 1940s.
While Bourgeois is best known today as a sculptor, it is in this early body of work—created in the decade spanning World War II—that her artistic voice emerged, establishing a core group of visual motifs that she would continue to explore and develop throughout her celebrated, decades-long career. Informed by new archival research, the exhibition sheds light on a little-known chapter in the artist’s practice.
