For Mother
MamanLouise Bourgeois,1999 (cast 2001)Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, SpainAt first glance it may seem that by entitling this pieceMaman(Mother in French) that Louise Bourgeois was not fond of her mother, but that is not the case. The spider she created is protecting her sack of eggs and Bourgeois saw her as a nurturing yet formidable figure, just like her own mother.
