Lily Cole Instagram – ‘You choose art pieces very consciously, female artists who work within the theme of motherhood.’—Manuela Wirth.
Ursula Hauser’s life is one of remarkable resilience. Despite facing hardship up–growing up amidst war and austerity, catching pneumonia as a baby, and facing the loss of her husband aged 34–she has gone on to build one of the world’s most impressive collections, with a particular focus on female artists.
‘My role model was of course my mother. She inspired us,’ adds Ursula Hauser.
Directed by Lily Cole, ‘Mother Weaver’ offers an intimate glimpse into Ursula’s life, revealing the personal stories and artistic influences that shaped the Ursula Collection. The artists featured include Pipilotti Rist, Louise Bourgeois, Luchita Hurtado, Ida Applebroog, and Alina Szapocznikow, to name a few.
Following the thread of weaving as a practice passed down from Ursula’s mother to her daughter Manuela, ‘Mother Weaver’ explores themes of maternal absence and presence, birth and death, through the lens of these female artists.
