Louise Bourgeois  Louise was a French-American artist. She made large scale sculptures and was a painter and print maker. She died at the age of 98 from a heart attack.  This is called 'Suspension'  This is 'Maman' (Spider)  This is 'Arch of Hysteria' Out of these 3, my person favorite is Maman. It is 30 feet tall, thats massive and also made of bronze, marble and stainless steel. Maman is also known as 'Spider' and holds a lot of value to her.
