In 1994 the Museum of Modern Art in New York launched a major retrospective of Louise Bourgeois' complete prints and assembled a catalogue raisonné of all her published works.

Louise Bourgeois' legendary artistic output spans more than five decades. In 1982 at New York MoMA her work was given overdue recognition in a critically applauded retrospective. Bourgeois has since had many international exhibitions and represented the United States in the 1993 Venice Biennale. In 1999 she built three monumental sculpture towers for the inauguration of London’s Tate Modern.

Internationally acclaimed for her mastery of a great variety of materials (marble, bronze, steel, glass, latex, plaster, fabric and wood,) Louise Bourgeois continues to address nearly obsessive themes of anxiety and alienation; of sex, identity and family history; of love and death.
