About the Item

The present copy (sheet 8 from "Ode à ma Mère") numbered lower left, signed and dated lower right. The total edition comprises 170 copies. Sheet size: 29,8 x 30 cm Plate size: 24 x 18,8 cm Literature: MoMA 11b/II Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911. Her works find their roots in her own childhood, which was marked by her difficult relationship with her father and the benevolence of her mother. The installation "The Destruction of the Father" and countless works with the motif of the spider, such as, for example, the gigantic, metre-high spider figures, the "Mamans", were born out of this. Bourgeois received numerous honours, awards and prizes, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York dedicated a retrospective to her. The work of Louise Bourgeois, who worked with unusual materials such as latex, wax, and cement, but also with wood, bronze and marble, comprises sculptures, numerous prints, installations and the spatial ‘cell’ works, enclosed spaces often made of wire mesh. Louise Bourgeois is one of the most important women artists of our time. In 2010, she died in New York City at the age of ninety-eight.
