The Serralves Museum hosts the exhibit 'To Unravel a Torment' by Louise Bourgeois (Paris-1911 to New York – 2010), until 20th June. The display spans her work, featuring seven decades of Bourgeois’ oeuvre between the end of the 1940’s and 2010.

Louise Bourgeois’ artwork has been displayed in several museums all around the world, with exhibits that deal with sensitive topics from her childhood, such as family, sexuality, the body, the mind, death and the unconscious, which she has healed and sort of exorcized through her art practice.

The exhibition is themed ‘To Unravel a Torment’ and it is organised by the Serralves Foundation – Museum of Contemporary Art and the Glenstone Museum, Potomac, Maryland, USA, in collaboration with The Easton Foundation, New York, and coproduced by the Voorlinden Museum & Gardens, Wassenaar, and Pays Bas.
