Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has acquired two sculptures and two paintings by artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010): "Maman," 1999 (bronze, stainless steel, and marble), "Quarantania," 1947-1953 (bronze, painted white with blue and black, and stainless steel), "Connecticutiana," 1944-1945 (oil on wood), and "Untitled," 1947 (oil on canvas).

“Louise Bourgeois contributed significantly to shaping American narrative with work that spanned most of the twentieth century and helped inform the growing feminist art movement. We’re eager to share her acclaimed sculptures as well as her rare paintings which offer visitors a chance to explore her work in two and three-dimensions,” said Crystal Bridges Executive Director Rod Bigelow.
