Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) is best known for her giant sculptures of looming bronze spiders. They represent her mother—all mothers who weave their loved ones into a web of protection. But she went way beyond the arachnid, producing watercolors, textiles, paintings, and other sculptures tirelessly over seven decades. “I am not what I am,” Bourgeois once said, “I am what I do with my hands.” This exhibition, her first in Japan in 27 years, covers her entire career, highlighting the artist’s versatility. —Elena Clavarino
