In order to fully express my intolerable limits to this family, I must choose a form to vent my anxiety, and can constantly change, destroy and rebirth. For me, sculpture is the reproduction of the body, and my body is the essence of my sculpture.

By means of symbols, people can communicate more consciously. But you also have to understand that symbols are symbols. They are not flesh-and-blood exchanges.

路易丝·布尔乔亚 | 里里外外
对于我来说,雕塑就是躯体的再现,我的躯体就是我雕塑的本质。为了完全表达我对这个家庭不能容忍的极限,我必须选择一个形式发泄心中的焦虑,并且可以不断改变、毁灭并重生。
——路易丝·布尔乔亚
For me, sculpture is the representation of my body, and my body is the essence of my sculpture. In order to fully express the limits of what I could not tolerate in this family, I had to choose a form to express my anxiety in my heart, which could be constantly changed, destroyed and reborn.

Louise Bourgeois’ Spider
路易丝·布尔乔亚的蜘蛛
我的童年从未失去它的魔力,它从未失去它的神秘,它从未失去它的戏剧。
——路易丝·布尔乔亚
My childhood has never lost its magic, it has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama.
—Louise Bourgeois
Louise Bourgeois: Structures of Existence – The Cells
The pair first met in 1980 when Jerry was hanging her work in a Soho gallery and the artist walked past the window. “I didn’t know the work so well and I’d only seen a few pieces, but I thought they were strong,” he says. He was 25 and she was 70.
Louise Bourgeois: Structures of Existence – The Cells
Rather than a meeting of minds, their first conversation was an argument in which Bourgeois shouted at Jerry that he was hanging her work all wrong. “She could be quite aggressive and powerful, but then she calmed down after we had some tea. She then invited me to her house and so I saw even more of her work.”
Louise Bourgeois: Structures of Existence – The Cells
At first, Jerry only worked for Bourgeois a few hours a week but slowly his role grew to assistant, manager and friend. Her career spanned 70 years but it was only later in life, with Jerry’s involvement, that she became more known. The work, rather than the fame, always remained priority for Bourgeois.
Louise Bourgeois: Cell VI, 1991, Structures of Existence – The Cells
“I had to force her to go to a few of her own openings in the beginning even though she didn’t want to… She felt the whole thing was unnecessary, so was rarely involved in the commercial side of her work.”
