Mom
The monumental sculpture "Mama" by Louise Bourgeois, more than 9 meters high, is a masterpiece that combines physical and psychological forces at the same time.

It simultaneously evokes a sense of fear due to its size, but, in contrast, the massive form, balanced on thin legs, conveys the acute vulnerability of the creature. The amazing size of the spider sculpture is associated by the artist with her mother. "This is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. She wove like spiders. My relatives had their businesses: they restored tapestries, and my mother managed the work in the workshop. Like spiders, my mother was smart. Spiders are friendly and eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes carry diseases, and that's why they are disliked. That is, spiders are useful, they protect us. My mother was like that." Six bronze castings were made from the sculpture, which was purchased by art institutions around the world: the British Tate Gallery, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Hermitage, the Mori Art Museum, the Samsung Museum of Art, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
