The largest display of the French-American artist’s work ever shown in the Asia-Pacific has just been unveiled. We’ve got 200 tickets up for grabs – first in, best dressed. 

 

Over a seven-decade career, prolific French-American artist Louise Bourgeois cemented herself as one of the greats of 20th-century art. Her work will be the subject of the first major solo exhibition in the Art Gallery of New South Wales’s new North Building.

 

Louise Bourgeois: Has the Day Invaded Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day explores the artist’s world from the get-go: her iconic large-scale sculpture Maman will be installed in the forecourt of the gallery’s South Building. Nine metres tall, the 1999 bronze, steel and marble work was dedicated to the artist’s mother. 

 

More than 120 works spanning Bourgeois’s incredible career, from her beginnings in Paris to her later years working in New York City, will be found throughout the North Building, including the subterranean Tank exhibition space. The exhibition reveals the themes she explored throughout her career: intimacy, human relationships, womanhood and selfhood.

 

Access has 200 tickets up for grabs to see the exhibition from November 30, 2023 to April 28, 2024. Claim yours below, but hurry – first in, best dressed.  

 

Tickets drop at 4pm 11 January.
