The obsessions and abiding themes of Louise Bourgeois, as seen through the eyes of Jenny Holzer
For both Jenny Holzer (born 1950) and Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010), the question of female identity is a central point of departure for their artistic production. Holzer knew Bourgeois personally and shares her sensitivity to language and the radicality of her creative position. Mainly focusing on Bourgeois’ writing and drawing practices, this gorgeous, large-format volume brings together the two legendary artists to propose a journey through Bourgeois’ obsessions and some of the major themes at stake in her work, among them motherhood, trauma, fear and loneliness.
Conceived and designed by Holzer to accompany the 2022 Louise Bourgeois exhibition that she curated at the Kunstmuseum Basel, the book puts Bourgeois’ works into dialogue with works from the Kunstmuseum Basel’s historical collections.
A fascinating montage of images and writings, this volume offers an unprecedented insight into Bourgeois’ art and life.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Née en 1911 à Paris, installée à New York depuis 1938 et jusqu'à sa mort en 2010, Louise Bourgeois a créé en plus de 60 ans un univers protéiforme qui, échappant à tous les « -ismes » du XXe siècle, est à la fois ancré dans une expérience personnelle singulière et ouvert sur l'histoire et l'histoire de l'art, exprimant la complexité et la permanence du désir à partir d'événements récurrents. Son œuvre, marquée par un vif intérêt pour la psychologie, sonde les émotions humaines : l'amour, la dépendance, la sexualité, le rejet, la jalousie et l'abandon.
Jenny Holzer (née en 1950 à Gallipolis, vit et travaille à New York) est célèbre pour son exploration subversive du langage dans l'espace public au moyen de formes peu conventionnelles, à l'instar de plaques de rue, tee-shirts, projections et panneaux LED.

Paperback. Zustand: Near fine in wraps. First Edition. 32 x 36cm near fine shrinkwrapped paperback. An unprecedented insight into Louise Bourgeois' art by Jenny Holzer.Two of the most original artists of the post-war 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 socio-political 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.Published with the Kunstmuseum Basel on the occasion of the exhibition 'Louise Bourgeois x Jenny Holzer: The Violence of Handwriting Across a Page', February 19-May 15, 2022.
