Many organically formed shapes rest on platforms, hang from wires, or protrude from the walls of this large, warehouse-like room with brick walls and cement ceiling, columns, and floor. A stairwell is placed within the center of the room and bright light streams through several windows. — Louise Bourgeois, installation view, Dia:Beacon, Beacon, New York. © The Easton Foundation/Licensed by VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
