Louise Bourgeois at MOCA

"This desire to be likeable, it's really a pain in the neck." - sculptor, Louise Bourgeois, 96
You've got one more week to view her mother portrayed as a 30-foot-tall bronze spider. At the MOCA, downtown Los Angeles, through January 25th. This is the first major survey of American artist, Louise Bourgeois's (b. 1911, Paris) work in more than a decade. MOCA organized a comprehensive exhibition as she explores various themes in a range of styles from abstraction to the ready-made. It's a rare opportunity to see many of Bourgeois's most well-known pieces reunited.
