Forty-six sculptures in bronze, textiles, latex and aluminium, a cell, and one painting, exhibited at MPM alongside 53 works on paper and textiles, many of them large-format or produced as series . Curated by Iris Müller-Westermann and organized in partnership with Modern Museet, one third of this collection of over 100 artworks have never been shown before.

On the very same evening the exhibition closed, specialised technicians dismantled one of Louise Bourgeois’ most well-known works, her sculpture Spider (1961), which had been installed in the gallery’s courtyard for the duration of the exhibition. The educational and cultural events and activities organized by MPM throughout the summer met with a great response, with children and adults alike taking part in the numerous guided visits and workshops organized around Bourgeois’ work. A total of 71,989 visitors saw the exhibition, between its opening in June and its closure on Sunday 27th September.
