- Louise Bourgeois, Cumul I, Courtesy the Guggenheim Museum of Art, © Louise Bourgeois
After persevering through relative obscurity during the first half of her career, artist Louise Bourgeois has been at the forefront of the arts for the past 30 years. She turns 97 this year, and, now being as good a time as any, the Guggenheim presents a full career retrospective, which spans decades, media, and styles. Formally varied in its execution, her work is streaked through with issues of domesticity, sexuality, and individual experience. Bourgeois' cells — enclosed steel-and-wire sculptural installations — employ a formal vocabulary of sexually ambiguous objects, both figurative and abstract. Also exhibited are her giant Giacometti-esque, daddy-long-leg spiders, as ripped off in Will Smith and Kevin Kline's Wild Wild West.
