Abstract

The paper outlines the work of the French-born artist Louise Bourgeois, on the occasion of an exhibition of her work on show at Tate Modern in London (Jan. 2008). The author describes the artist's sculpture of a large-scale spider 'Maman' (1999; illus.), and concludes by observing that the sculpture is a metaphor for motherhood.
