Louise Bourgeois' Spider The Architecture of Art-Writing

"In a way, Bal is the ideal writer about Bourgeois: in both, excess is the name of the game. Bal's stylistic exuberance may at times be maddening and self-indulgent, but at others it is invigorating and revelatory. In the same way that much of Bourgeois's work can be read as a not so subtle attack on the verities of sculptural Modernism, so Bal's discourse can be understood as a continuous and often salutary thrust against establishment art history...."Bal, Mieke is the author of 'Louise Bourgeois' Spider The Architecture of Art-Writing' with ISBN 9780226035758 and ISBN 0226035751.
