Louise Bourgeois (American/French, 1911-2010)

Widely regarded as one of the most important female artists in history, Louise Bourgeois is known for her psychologically-charged abstract sculptures, drawings and prints. Born in Paris, Bourgeois studied at École du Louvre and École des Beaux-Arts before moving to New York and studying painting at the Art Students League. Bourgeois began to produce wooden sculptures in the late 1940s before creating works in non-traditional media in the 1950s. As her work became more sexually explicit she began to receive international recognition due to the rise of feminism and postmodernism. Bourgeois exhibited at the documenta 9 in 1992, and the Venice Biennale in 1993. In 1999, Bourgeois was the first artist commissioned to fill the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London, which held a large retrospective in honor of her 95th birthday. Her work was also exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
