Spider (1991) by André Lassen
Caption
Spider (1991) is a bronze sculpture by Dutch artist André Lassen. The museum label dates the work to Amsterdam 1991.
Lassen transforms human skeletal anatomy into an arachnid structure, extending the limbs into eight spider-like legs. The silhouette can recall the Facehugger from Alien (1979), but the work is an independent sculpture and is not known to be a replica of the film creature.
The sculpture is displayed on the top floor of the HR Giger Museum in Gruyères as part of H.R. Giger's private art collection.
