Maman (sculpture)
:''Not to be confused with Louise Bourgeois' similar sculptures: Spider or Crouching Spider''
''Maman'' (1999) is a bronze, stainless steel, and marble sculpture by the artist Louise Bourgeois. The sculpture, which depicts a spider, is among the world's largest, measuring over 30 ft high and over 33 ft wide (927 x 891 x 1024 cm). It includes a sac containing 26 marble eggs and its abdomen and thorax are made of ribbed bronze. The title is the familiar French word for ''Mother''. The sculpture was created in 1999 by Bourgeois as a part of her inaugural commission of The Unilever Series (2000), in the Turbine Hall at London's Tate Modern.〔 This original was created in steel, with an edition of six subsequent castings in bronze.
==Philosophy and meaning==
The sculpture picks up the theme of the arachnid that Bourgeois had first contemplated in a small ink and charcoal drawing in 1947, continuing with her 1996 sculpture ''Spider''.〔(Louise Bourgeois, ''Spider'' (1996) ) Christie's Post-War Contemporary Evening Sale, 8 November 2011, New York.〕 It alludes to the strength of Bourgeois' mother, with metaphors of spinning, weaving, nurture and protection.〔 Her mother Josephine was a woman who repaired tapestries in her father's textile restoration workshop in Paris.〔 When Bourgeois was twenty-one, she lost her mother to an unknown illness. A few days after her mother's passing, in front of her father (who did not seem to take his daughter’s despair seriously), Louise threw herself into the Bièvre River; he swam to her rescue.〔(Louise Bourgeois, 5 March - 2 June 2008 ) Centre Pompidou, Paris.〕
