Bourgeois revealed to a greater public at the time of her Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1982 that her childhood is the source of inspiration for her art. In her sculpture, the memories of the past and their emotional resonance collide with the present moment that summons them up. To Bourgeois, art making is her form of psychoanalysis. By giving a tangible form to her emotions and anxieties, she is able to process them and better understand who she is. 2006 LECKERBISSEN II Fischerplatz Galerie, Ulm 2005 Louise Bourgeois Kunsthalle Wien (Halle 1, Halle 2), Vienna La sculpture dans l’espace Musée Auguste Rodin - Hôtel Biron, Paris 25 Jahre Galerie Fahnemann: Reopening Galerie Fahnemann, Berlin Louise Bourgeois Galerie Karsten Greve - Paris, Paris Louise Bourgeois Galerie Karsten Greve - Mailand, Milano The Figurative Impulse - Works from the UBS Art Collection Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, Santurce Centre of Gravity Istanbul Modern, Istanbul Highlights - New Acquisitions John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, CA 51st International Exhibition: Always a Little Further La Biennale di Venezia, Venice Summer Exhibition 2005 Royal Academy of Arts, London (England) Colour After Klein Barbican, London (England) Getting Emotional ICA Boston, Boston, MA Springtide ICA-Institue of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA Louise Bourgeois KUKJE GALLERY, Seoul Louise Bourgeois Marlborough Fine Art (London) Ltd, London (England) Louise Bourgeois Marlborough Galerie GmbH, Zurich The Enigma of Modernity Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art - Budapest, Budapest Mixed-Up Childhood Auckland Art Gallery, Auckland Louise Bourgeois - Stitches in Time Museum of Contemporary Art - North Miami (MOCA), Miami, FL „Munch Revisited“ - Edvard Munch und die heutige Kunst Museum am Ostwall, Dortmund Likeness: Portraits of Artists by Other Artists ICA Boston, Boston, MA Out of Site - Selections from the Marsha S.
