Louise Bourgeois in
Abstract Erotic
20 June—4 September 2025
Group exhibition at Courtauld Gallery, London, UK
This summer, experience extraordinary sculptures by Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse and Alice Adams at The Courtauld Gallery. Three pioneering artists of the 20th century who, in 1960s New York, produced startling new bodies of work turning modern sculpture on its head. This major exhibition foregrounds their shared commitment to using humour and abstract form to ask important questions about sexuality and bodies.
This is the first time The Courtauld will stage an ambitious group exhibition of this kind, with abstract sculpture filling the gallery spaces in bold and unconventional ways. Abstract Erotic features important loans from distinguished public and private collections in Europe and America, many of which are rarely seen due to their inherent fragility.
