Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911, moved to New York to work and live in 1938, and died in 2010. Best known for her large-scale sculptures, she is recognized as one of the most important and influential artists of the last century. Louise Bourgeois is generally classified as an Abstract Expressionist artist, but there are also elements of Surrealism and Feminism in her work. She went her own way and was not associated with any art movement in her life.
According to the British TATE Museum, one of the reasons why Louise Bourgeois's works are so powerful is that she suffered childhood trauma, including her mother who had always been sick and died when she was 22 years old. Her father was unfaithful to his wife and had multiple mistresses, which caused great harm to both mother and son. Because of the fear of being abandoned, there is often a theme of fear of abandonment in Louise Bourgeois's works. She was only 3 years old when World War I broke out, and the war had a great impact on her.
Louise Bourgeois's most famous works are her spiders. She began painting as early as 1947. By the 1990s, she created large spider works several stories high. She once said that spider sculptures were the "most successful objects" in her life. She used spiders to represent her mother. In her eyes, spiders are both predators and protectors.
This exhibition is her second solo exhibition in Hong Kong. The exhibition is jointly curated by the gallery and The Easton Foundation. It will present a selection of her works from the 1960s to 2008, including some rarely exhibited sculptures and works on paper. Among them, a three-meter-long fountain installation "Mamelles [fountain]" (1991) and a steel and marble sculpture "Spider" (2000) will be exhibited in Asia for the first time.

It is very recommended. There are many cultural relics in the Forbidden City Museum. They are exquisite. I especially like the clock display of the Forbidden City. I will come back if I have the opportunity. The museum is to slowly appreciate and feel the history of the Chinese nation.
