The exhibit draws from the significant holdings of the National Gallery of Canada, supplemented by loans from the artist’s estate. At the cen- tre of the gallery is her massive Cell (The Last Climb) (2008), a significant recent installation Bourgeois constructed around the spiral staircase of her Brooklyn studio. Enclosed within a cage-like structure and surrounded by blue glass spheres and wood balls, the staircase stands 14 feet tall inside the gallery space. Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris COLLECTION: NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA / © LOUISE BOURGEOIS TRUST BOURGEOIS CANADA / © LOUISE OF GALLERY NATIONAL COLLECTION: in 1911 and studied art at the Ecole du Louise Bourgeois, Cell (The Last Climb) (2008), steel, wood, blown glass, rubber Louvre, Académie des Beaux-Arts, and spools of thread [Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Jun 2-Sep 23] Académie Julian, and Atelier Fernand Léger.
