Coupling the works of Louise Bourgeois and Pablo Picasso?at first glance, an unlikely pair?results in a thought-provoking discourse on the artists' formal and iconographic links. Inspired by archaic and primitive sources, both Bourgeois and Picasso continually explored and developed interpretations of fertility and mother deities; late in life, both artists focused on eroticism, sexuality, and intimacy. In summer 2019, objects from these pivotal twentieth-century artists were presented at Hauser & Wirth Zürich, marking the first two-person show in which a female sculptor's works are put into an extended dialogue with those of Picasso. The publication of ?Louise Bourgeois & Pablo Picasso' builds upon the complex conversation about gender this exhibition sparks.
