Tate Modern のサイトによると：

Louise Bourgeois is regarded as one of the most important artists working today. Born in 1911 in Paris, she studied under Léger, André Lhôte and Roger Bissière in the 1930s before moving to New York in 1938. Bourgeois has always been at the forefront of new developments in art, but has pursued a wholly personal path, removed from the major avant-garde movements of her time. She has explored her ideas in painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance, using extraordinarily varied media, from wood and stone to latex and rubber. However, this breadth of materials is balanced by an almost obsessive continuity of subject matter, often deeply autobiographical in its references to Bourgeois’ childhood.

Maman is one of the highlights of a series of spring display changes at Tate Modern. Opening at the same time are a display of the Kahnweiler Bequest, which features the recently-acquired Braque painting The Billiard Table, the collection display Head to Head in the Turbine Hall, and a recently acquired new work by Olafur Eliasson. On 12 May, the fourth anniversary of its public opening, Tate Modern launches a new series, Untitled, which provides a platform for important international artists yet to be showcased in the UK.
