As a 20 page catalog, this isn't bad. There are around 14 pieces.
The bio of the artist is interesting, and well worth reading.
Most of the photos are large and take up a page.
The down side is that several of the pieces are not her most interesting. At least to me, as a fan of her more organic sculptures. (Maybe I've just seen work like the wringing hands, and headless body arched in hot sex too many times.)
One exception is a brilliant and little known sculpture, "Mamelles/Mammelle".
There is another large photo of a gorgeous piece "Untitled (With Growth)," Next to the spiders, this is one of her most famous motifs - finger (or phallic) clusters growing out of stone. The lighting and photography were wonderful. Unfortunately, there is no mention of the materials that went into the piece.
Also interesting is Ventuse/Ventosa with crystalline light bulbs growing out of a stone block.
Another fairly interesting sculpture is "Nature Study," but we only see an extreme side view.
So to summarize - slim magazine, good writing, a handful of exceptional sculptures.
Yes, it was worth the $20 price of admission. Especially when books jam packed with Bourgeois sculptures, like Memory and Architecture, are going for over $300.
Hopefully someday, people will be able to view most of the work by this gifted artist without having to refinance their house.
