Book Description: DAROS, Peter Blum Edition & Scalo, Zurich, SWITZERLAND & New York, 2001. Linen Over Boards, Slipcased. Book Condition: Fine. First Edition 1/1500 Deluxe. 4to. 438 + 132pp, 445 color illustrations. Text in English and French. "Insomnia has been a lifetime companion of Louise Bourgeois' night hours. Between November 1994 and June 1995, she committed to paper whatever thoughts, memories, and images surfaced during her long sleepless nights. The resulting two hundred and twenty drawings are the quintessence of all the impulses, sources, and motifs that inspire her work. The Insomnia Drawings show the artist's mind at work: drawings and sketches alternate with poems and aphorisms in both French and English, interspersed with notes referring to the business of everyday life. The 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. The first volume contains facsimiles of both the recto and verso of the drawings. The second volume provides the reader with valuable background information on this complex and exhilaratingly beautiful work of art". A most handsome copy of the elegantly produced special edition limited to one thousand, five hundred numbered copies specially bound in debossed, silkscreened Japanese linen over boards of this massive set still in shrinkwrap showing some tiny creases to a few corners of the publisher's printed cardboard slipcase.
