Bourgeois Looms Large at the Guggenheim

The spiral is a crucial metaphor for Bourgeois, who incorporates the symbol into much of her work as a representation of control and freedom, of space and movement.

It's an anxiety provoking exhibition, especially at the top of the Guggenheim spiral. Such a retrospective is a must see, event if it were bad. Am still waiting for the Kalm report http://www.youtube.com/user/jameskalm
