1 / 4   Have you ever seen a spider wearing colorful stockings? If not, you have an opportunity now to experience “Maman” transformed with an explosion of colors. Created by French-born American artist Louise Bourgeois, the spider-shaped bronze sculpture in front of the Mori Tower at Tokyo's Roppongi Hills has been wrapped with knitted fabric by American textile artist Magda Sayeg since Tuesday. /VCG Photo
