再見了，親愛的布爾喬亞小姐
我知道有一天不得不和妳說再見。
希望妳好好走、慢慢行，回到蜘蛛母體溫暖所在。

NEW YORK — Her studio's managing director says artist Louise Bourgeois (burzh-WAH') has died in New York City, after a lengthy career of exploring women's deepest feelings on birth, sexuality and death. She was 98.
Wendy Williams of Louise Bourgeois Studio says the sculptor died at Beth Israel Medical Center on Monday, two days after suffering a heart attack.
Bourgeois worked in a wide variety of materials to tackle themes relating to male and female bodies and emotions of anger, betrayal, even murder. Her work reflected influences of surrealism, primitivism and early modernist sculptors such as Alberto Giacometti and Constantin Brancusi.
Her work was almost unknown to the wider art world until she was 70, when New York's Museum of Modern Art presented a retrospective of her career.
