[edit] Maman at Roppongi Hills, Tokyo

There is another of the Maman sculptures on display at Roppongi Hills. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.205.148 (talk) 19:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seems to be something wrong

My english is not really good so I prefer to don't change anything but I think there is something wrong with these lines: "The installations were later dismantled, the spider sculpture ("Maman") was relocated to Ottawa where it stood outside the entrance to the National Gallery of Canada but has now been moved to the Louvre in paris. no, still in Ottawa"

I haven't ever seen myself "Maman" at the Louvre, and it's the first time I heard it's there.

Sorry for my english.

April 1th, Emel, from french wikipedia. I don't understand why my wikipedia account don't work here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.61.79.57 (talk) 20:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Something Wrong, Again

It's seems to be another error: "Her earliest exhibition, in 1947, consisted of tunnel sculptures and wooden figures, including The Winged Figure (1948)."

First, I think she must had a lot of problem to present in 1947 a piece of art she made on year after. second, according to the documentation1 of the Centre Pompidou (Paris) about the actual exposition (who was before at the Tate Museum): "Lors de sa première exposition personnelle en 1945 à New York elle présente douze peintures." Who can be approximatively translated: "At her first personal exposition in 1945 in new-York, she presents twelve paintings"

So the date seems to be 1945, not 1947.

Hope I haven't mistaken and that my approximative english could be read and understanded...

Emel, again.
