Maman by Louise Bourgeois ,1999 (cast 2001) Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain
At first glance it may seem that by entitling this piece Maman (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.
