Tate Modern offers you an opportunity to observe works by one of the
world’s most respected sculptors, Louise Bourgeois, in her 95th year
now. The artist’s career has been long and embraced large part of the twentieth
century. Louise Bourgeois worked in different artistic styles, from abstraction
to realism, but independently on what style she followed, she has always been
very inventive and individual. The exhibition shows more than 200 works created
of various materials, such as marble, bronze, mirrors, latex and fabric. With
such a variety, it will help you follow her artistic path and understand what
influenced her at certain periods. One of the exhibition’s landmarks is the
spider sculpture Maman 1999, which was first shown in the gallery in 2000.
Themes the artist reveals in her masterpieces are isolation, femininity and
sexuality. The exhibition is opened 10 October 2007 – 20 January 2008.
