Introduction by Emily Wei Rales. Text by Briony Fer, Philip Larratt-Smith.

Louise Bourgeois: To Unravel a Torment accompanies the first exhibition of Louise Bourgeois’s (1911–2010) work at Glenstone and features nearly 30 major works drawn from the museum’s collection. From her early wooden Personages to her large hanging sculptures, from suites of drawings and prints to textile works and her immersive Cells, To Unravel a Torment surveys Bourgeois’s career through selected examples from her enormous body of work. Bourgeois was also a prolific writer, matching her sculptural language with reams of psychoanalytic musings on repression, symbolism, and material. To Unravel a Torment also brings together never-before-published diary entries by the artist, annotated by Bourgeois scholar Philip Larratt-Smith, a contribution by art historian Briony Fer, and extensive installation photography.
