Louise Bourgeois, Temper Tantrum, 2000

Happy Leap Year! Here’s a seemingly tumbling (but actually invisibly suspended) sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. Titled Temper Tantrum, it comprises a voluptuous female figure crafted from pink cloth (a Bourgeois favourite), sewn together in crude patches like a child’s doll. As with much of the French-American artist’s work, the piece is highly emotionally charged—an external expression of an inner burst of anger that is peculiarly pleasing to look at.
