Includes bibliographical references.Couples / Marie-Laure Bernadac -- Femme couteau : thoughts on an idea in the oeuvre of Louise Bourgeois / Ulf Küster -- Pregnant woman : in the work of Louise Bourgeois and Pablo Picasso / Diana Widmaier Picasso -- Louise Bourgeois, Pablo Picasso : art, psychoanalysis, and trauma / Émilie Bouvard -- A man and a woman / Gérard Wajcman.Hauser & Wirth Zürich is proud to present 'Louise Bourgeois & Pablo Picasso: Anatomies of Desire' which opens during Zurich Art Weekend on 8 June 2019. The exhibition is the first time that Picasso is exhibited in a dual dialogue with a female sculptor and brings together over 90 works including paintings, sculptures and works on paper from important public institutions and private collections such as the Fondation Beyeler (Riehen/Basel), Nasher Sculpture Center (Dallas), and Kunstmuseum Den Haag (The Hague). Curated by highly renowned specialist Marie-Laure Bernadac, former curator at the Louvre, Musée Picasso (Paris), and Centre Pompidou, the exhibition is organised in close collaboration with the Louise Bourgeois Studio. The aim of the exhibition is to foster a discourse on the work of Bourgeois and Picasso by exploring the differences and affinities in the artists? formal, thematic and iconographic language. The presentation will display intentional pairings of works, by placing these artists together for comparative analysis, this exhibition sheds new light on their oeuvres and rids us of the clichés of the virile painter armed with a phallic brush and the sculptress armed with a knife, explains curator Marie-Laure Bernadac. The original inspiration for the pairing came from an exhibition organised by the Beyeler Foundation in 2011, curated by Ulf Küster, which presented works by Bourgeois in dialogue with works by modern masters from the Beyeler collection confirming the artist's position as one of the key bridges between modern and contemporary art. Exhibition: Hauser & Wirth, Zürich, Switzerland (09.06. - 14.09.2019).

Already a fan and wishing to immerse yourself in a fun, engaging, informative and informed read that will refresh your Art History 101 and Introduction to Art courses from college? The 12-Hour Art Expert: Everything You Need to Know about Art in a Dozen Masterpieces avoids the common approach of throwing hundreds of images at a reader and expecting them to learn from and memorize them all. Intead, the book guides readers through a select series of masterpieces of Western art--from cave paintings to sharks in formaldehyde. This book's twelve chapters teach readers about art, the art trade, art history and more, all in a thorough (though concise) fashion. Each chapter is linked to one notable masterpiece, with references to others, giving readers a fixed, digestible number of objects that they will get to know in depth, and which they can use as a lens to understand the thousands of other, related objects that they might encouter in the future. Museums can be daunting, and art presents a starnage new language, one that certainly intrigues but is often intimidating and foreigh. This book, written by one of the world's best-known art historians, uses entertaining stories to break down intimidating barriers and invites readers of all ages for a one-stop immersion into art.
