Louise Bourgeois was the first artist to take on Tate Modern’s great Turbine Hall and when the new museum opened in May 2000 Bourgeois giant spider Maman and her three house-size towers I do, I undo, I redo were the first works of art to greet the museum’s thousands of visitors. Frances Morris, Director of Collection, International Art at Tate, commissioned the work as the first in the now-famous series of Unilever installations and worked with the artist and her team to realize this landmark site-specific project.
