Bourgeois' thought-provoking collection of more than 200 works, produced during sleepless nights, provides inimitable insight into her psyche

Insomnia was a lifetime companion for Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010). Between November 1994 and June 1995, she committed to paper whatever thoughts, memories and images surfaced during her long, sleepless nights. The resulting 220 drawings are the quintessence of all the impulses, sources and motifs that inspired her work. The Insomnia Drawings shows Bourgeois' total mind at work: drawings and sketches alternate with poems and aphorisms in both French and English, interspersed with notes referring to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The resulting series is a unique mirror of an extraordinary woman's life and work: beautiful, disquieting, passionate, inquiring and imbued with a quirky sense of humor.
