Louise Bourgeois's Mamon sculpture

by Jack Brummet



Maman (mother in French) is a thirty foot high sculpture by the artist Louise Bourgeois. She was 87 when she created it in 1998. I saw the original at the Tate Modern in London, and there are six bronze castings in other locations around the world, including one in Bentonville, Ark., home of WalMart.
