    Content: "'Louise Bourgeois : An Unfolding Portrait' explores this celebrated artist's prints and books, a little known but highly significant part of Bourgeois's larger practice. Her copious production in these mediums - addressing themes that perennially occupied her, including memory, trauma, and the body - is examined here within the context of related sculptures, drawings, and paintings. This investigation sheds light on Bourgeois's creative process, which is uniquely and vividly apparent through the evolving states and variants of her prints; seeing these sequences unfold is akin to looking over the artist's shoulder as she worked. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue features an insightful essay by curator (and longtime friend of the artist) Deborah Wye, examining Bourgeois's involvement with these mediums alongside the developments of her long life and career. Interviews with three of the artist's close collaborators further illuminate her artistic practice and output, some three hundred examples of which are presented in this volume

    Content: "Two of the most original artists of the postwar period, Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) and Jenny Holzer (b. 1950), meet in this exceptional artist’s book conceived and designed by Holzer to accompany the Bourgeois exhibition she has curated at the Kunstmuseum Basel. Holzer is internationally renowned for her exploration and subversion of public language in a wide variety of media and formats. Despite their formal differences, both artists share a strong interest in psychological and emotional states, such as love, desire, sexuality, rejection, jealousy, murder, suicide, dependency, and abandonment. Where Holzer approaches these subjects from a more sociopolitical angle, Bourgeois derives them from her own psychic life. Holzer’s book is not a document of her Bourgeois exhibition but rather a parallel work that further mines the dynamic interplay between text and image in Bourgeois’ art. Working in a sumptuous oversize format, she has set up a nonlinear narrative through juxtapositions of Bourgeois’ works and writings, deploying extreme close-ups, dramatic croppings, full-page bleeds, and other devices to startle and refocus our attention on Bourgeois’ preoccupations and obsessions. At times these juxtapositions are enriched with works chosen from the historical collections of the Kunstmuseum Basel. The resultant confrontations are unexpected, jarring, and inspiring. A fascinating montage of images and writings, this volume offers a unique perspective on Bourgeois’ extraordinary oeuvre as filtered through Holzer’s gaze. The artist’s book is accompanied by a booklet with texts by Kunstmuseum Basel director Josef Helfenstein and curator Anita Haldemann"
    Content: Jenny Holzer (geb. 1950), eine der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Künstler:innen ihrer Generation, kuratiert eine Ausstellung über das Werk von Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010). Diese gilt weithin als eine der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten Künstler:innen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Holzer ist international bekannt für ihren forschenden und subversiven Umgang mit Sprache in der Öffentlichkeit durch die Verwendung unkonventioneller Formen: von Strassenschildern und T-Shirts bis hin zu Projektionen und LEDs. Das von einem starken Interesse an Psychologie geprägte Werk von Bourgeois setzt sich mit den menschlichen Emotionen auseinander: Liebe, Begehren, Abhängigkeit, Sexualität, Zurückweisung, Eifersucht und Verlassenheit. Das Kunstmuseum Basel zeigt durch diese beispiellose Begegnung zweier aussergewöhnlicher Persönlichkeiten der amerikanischen Kunst das Werk von Bourgeois aus der Sicht von Holzer. Holzer nähert sich der Kunst von Bourgeois über deren umfangreiche Schreibtätigkeit an: Bourgeois' gewaltiges Archiv reicht von jahrzehntelang geführten Tagebüchern und Briefwechseln bis hin zu mehreren hundert psychoanalytischen Texten. Darüber hinaus verwendete sie das geschriebene Wort auch häufig in ihrer Kunst. Für die Ausstellung wurden Werke aus sämtlichen Schaffensphasen von Bourgeois ausgewählt - Skulpturen, Installationen, Gemälde, Zeichnungen, Druckgrafik und Texte -, die thematisch gruppiert in den Sälen des Neubaus ausgestellt werden.
