Deeply influenced by her traumatic childhood, Bourgeois has produced copious amounts of work that is not only extremely personal, but also engaging through its raw emotion and symbolic references.She has never stopped at one medium, but instead has worked with paint, fabric, marble, plastics, wood, bronze, and found objects. She has taken part in a plethora of significant art movements throughout her career, and during that time, produced many drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations, and performance pieces.

The Guggenheim exhibit, simply titled “Louise Bourgeois”, spans throughout the entire Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda. Within the Rotunda hangs Untitled (2004) piece that suspends two spiraling, aluminum, cocoon shaped objects above the viewer’s head. The exhibit, which goes through September 28th, also features a pair of her recognizable bronze spiders, in addition to many other equally powerful pieces.
