For seventy years Louise Bourgeois has given form to the contradictions of existence at their most acute. Often figurative but just as often abstract, and prone to radical mutations, her work has seemed disparate to observers who have followed it only episodically. Now, in retrospect, it has become clear that it is knitted together by formal thematic, and emotional threads that make it all of a piece.
