A giant sculpture of a spider by Louise Bourgeois, similar to one, below, that has been luring the crowds to Tate Modern on Londonâs South Bank, has been donated to the gallery, the BBC reported. Vicente Todoli, the museumâs director, called the gift of the almost 30-foot-tall work, titled âMaman,â a âhistoric moment.â The steel and bronze sculpture was given to the Tate by Ms. Bourgeois and an anonymous benefactor. It is the largest of a series of spiders made by Ms. Bourgeois, now 96. The artist, who lives in New York, has described the piece as âan ode to my mother, my best friend.â She added: âLike spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes.â.
