The French American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was among the most prominent and significant visual artists of the last century. She is particularly known for her enormous spider sculptures – the largest of which is nearly 10 meters tall and stands outside the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
She often uses close relationships as the point of departure for her art and deals with the great themes, such as sexuality, angst, loneliness, betrayal, grief and jealousy.
