Louise Bourgeois — Spider Woman
Louise Bourgeois

Spider Woman

A haunting yet powerful etching by the iconic Louise Bourgeois, *Spider Woman* (2005) merges the human form with the arachnid imagery that defined much of her celebrated career. As part of a limited edition of 25, this work reflects Bourgeois's deeply personal symbolism, in which the spider serves as a maternal figure — protective, industrious, and commanding. Printed and published by Harlan and Weaver in New York, this signed and numbered impression stands as a testament to the artist's enduring exploration of memory, femininity, and psychological complexity.

Medium
signed, dated `2005' and numbered 19/25 in pencil (there were also 7 artist's proofs), printed and published by Harlan and Weaver, New York, framed.
